ASSOCIATION NEWS
End of an Era
A chapter in APHA history has closed as long-time staff members Audrey
Choate and Theresa Anderson have recently left the office.
Choate started working at APHA in 1978. Beginning as a Performance
Department assistant and later serving as the assistant director of performance
and performance supervisor, she concluded her career as manager of facilities.
She retired in December 2010. Allyson Pennington has taken over her duties.
Anderson joined APHA in 1987. During her time of employment, Anderson
served as registration assistant, administrative assistant to the executive
secretary and executive director, and director of administration. She left APHA
in March 2011 to spend time with her family. Another familiar APHA face,
Theresa Brown, has assumed Anderson’s duties.
