ASPA President’s Message: September 2024

October 4, 2024 | President's Message

Hello everyone! I hope you had an opportunity to enjoy summer and were able to take some time for leisure and connecting with near and dear ones.

I'd also like to acknowledge the invaluable assistance and guidance I continually receive from past ASPA leaders. 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. Furthermore, I want to recognize the executive members for their contributions in devising various initiatives to enhance the membership experience.
