This week, with the conclusion of APA’s Annual Business Meeting, we welcomed three new faces to the Board of Advisors. The Regional Advisors act as mentors and representatives to the chapters in their respective regions. Please allow me to introduce them.
For Region 3, your new Advisor is Carlanna Livingstone, CPP. Carlanna, "rhymes with banana", she says, has been a Certified Payroll Professional and a member of APA since 2009. In that time, she has served on the Government Relations Task Force, the Hotline Referral Service, the Social Networking Committee, the Strategic Payroll Leadership Task Force, and in 2021 she was received an APA Meritorious Service Award.
Carlanna currently resides in the state of Washington and is a member of the Rainier Chapter. You can reach Carlanna via email at CLivingstone@cicplus.com.
For Region 5, your new Advisor is Susan Noyes, CPP. You can call her Sue and she has been a member of APA and a Certified Payroll Professional since 2006. She presently serves on the Education Grant Committee, CHAMPS, Hotline Referral Service, Social Networking Committee, and the Retail Strategic Payroll Leadership Task Force. She has also served on the Chapter Recognition Committee. In 2020 she was selected to receive the APA Education grant.
Sue currently resides in New Hampshire and is a member of the Maine Association of Payroll Professionals and currently serves as the Co-Chair and Webmaster for the New England Payroll Conference. If you need anything from Sue, email her at SueNoyes99@gmail.com.
