Farewell and Thank You
APA Family,
I did not run for re-election this term so as of September 1, 2025, I will be stepping out of my role as APA President and away from the APA Executive Board. I am moving to a somewhat slower lifestyle. I enjoy nature and working with my hands so my new remote office will be in the woods with my camera or constructing in my workshop. After five years in this seat, there are plenty of home repair projects waiting for me.
Through all the event since I started in February 2020, you – the members of the APA have proved your unquestionable value to the MSU community. I could not be prouder of who you are. Your grit is what makes you true professionals. Don’t ever accept less for what you bring to MSU and especially for yourselves. You deserve much more.
I thank the members of the APA for being who you are and allowing me to be part of that.
In solidarity,
Martin McDonough
MSU APA President
