The APA extends its thanks and best wishes to Dennis Seybert, who has retired from MSU after 16 years of service. Â He worked initially for University Printing and then moved to Purchasing. The last few years he has played a vital role as Vice President for the APA and as chair of the membership committee. Dennis served as the first point of contact to welcome new members to the university or those who transferred from another labor union. Â He was behind the scenes setting up member and AR training and community lunches to increase communication with members. His efforts to create a better work environment for APA/MEA/NEA members did not go unnoticed and we thank him for everything he has done.
Kandy Slack has been appointed as the new membership committee chairperson.  That’s Kandy with a “Kâ€. Kandy has filled a couple different leadership roles with the APA, first as an Area Representative when she worked in FRIB and she is has been on the APA Executive Board since October 2016.  Thanks to Kandy for taking on this new responsibility to serve the APA.
Your 2018-19 APA officers include: Maury Koffman, President; Martin McDonough, Vice President; Erica Phillipich, Treasurer and Sue Brandt, Secretary.
