Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well and gearing up for the spring of 2025 and warmer weather.
I'd like to acknowledge the invaluable assistance and guidance I continually receive from past ASPA leaders and former Executive members. Recognition is also due to our current Vice Presidents, Philip Hitchings, and Dawn Giesbrecht, who are providing impartial insights that aid us in steering ASPA in the right direction.
