 » Executive Summary: Ray Arambula

#### The best advice I ever got

Success is not something you grab off the shelf; it’s what follows you.

#### My three goals for 2018

1. Obtain my CAE.
2. Become a more strategic leader.
3. Continue to keep my organization out of the data breach headlines.

#### What I Do When I’m Not at Work

Make memories with my wife and kids, photography, play and watch sports, mix music

#### If I weren’t doing this, I’d …

… be in a really fast car on a racetrack.

#### What I Do When I’m Not at Work

Make memories with my wife and kids, photography, play and watch sports, mix music

#### My Media Mix

Music: Everything! (I used to be a DJ.)

TV: Stranger Things, Empire, Counterpart

Magazines: Associations Now, CIO, Digital Photo Pro

#### On my desk right now

Green tea, business continuity and disaster recovery plan, software licensing contracts, 2018-2020 ASAE DELP brochure (I’m on the front cover!)
