Can you tell us a little about yourself?
I was born, raised, and still live in the suburbs of Baltimore. My husband and I will celebrate 32 years together in January. We love camping and I enjoy bowling both ten pins and duckpins (you will have to Google it unless you live in the Northeast).
How long have you been involved with APA and local chapters?
I became an APA member in 2001 and I joined the Board of Directors of the Charm City Payroll Association in 2002. I have served as Government Liaison Officer, Director of Education, Vice President, and President. At the National level, I serve on the Social Networking Committee, Electronic Payments Committee and the Child Support and Garnishment subcommittee of the GRTF. I was named APA’s Payroll Man of the Year in 2015.
What goal would you like to achieve as a Regional Advisor?
My goal is to be a resource for all my chapters, whether it be an issue that they or facing as a chapter or just to be a sounding board for them. I know from serving 18 years on my chapter’s board that, while very rewarding, it can be challenging. I would love to see our chapters talking to each other more. I find that I have gotten some of my best ideas from networking with members from other chapters.
