Staff News

Who does what on the AAPM HQ Team? See a list with contact information and brief descriptions of responsibilities online. An Organization Chart is also provided.

Andrew Gillis started in early September as the Staff Accountant working with the other members of the Finance Team. Specifically, Andrew is working on the monthly closing of the books of record, account reconciliation, and journal entry adjustments. Although he just "officially" joined the team, Andrew provided temporary accounting services through two recent AAPM year-end audit processes and is very familiar with AAPM processes and the HQ team.

Although change is never easy and it is hard to imagine not having Janet as part of the team, we were excited to welcome Janelle Priestly in early October as the new Accounting Assistant. Janelle has extensive accounting experience, including many years with the new accounting software that AAPM will be implementing in early 2018. Janet has worked hard to prepare Janelle and I am certain that she will be a great asset.
