A Message from the Newly Elected National Officers

To the APFA Membership:

Today marks the beginning of a new chapter for our Union. While the past few months have been challenging and at times divisive, we are ready to move beyond the campaign into a collaborative and effective administration.

The run-off shows that both slates brought forth strong ideas and that the membership wants the strategies of both teams to be integrated going forward. The four of us are all eager to get to work for you.

The enormity of our current situation cannot be overstated. We are each humbled and grateful for the trust that you have placed in us to navigate this challenge. We look forward to unifying the membership over the next month as we transition into the new administration and hitting the ground running in April.

In Unity,

Laura Glading, President
Marcus Gluth, Vice President-Elect
Jeff Pharr, Secretary-Elect
Greg Gunter, Treasurer-Elect
