Over the last three years, Michelle has been instrumental in supporting and executing the Board’s strategic direction and she has implemented many new initiatives to ensure our continued growth and success as an association. Michelle’s inspiring leadership has left a lasting impression on our organization, membership and community.
The Board of Directors wishes to express their thanks and deep appreciation to Michelle for her passion, dedication and exceptional service to the OPMA during a pivotal time in our organization’s history. Michelle’s significant accomplishments with OPMA include:

Although Michelle will be greatly missed by the staff, Board and membership, she is embarking upon an incredible new journey. Michelle and her husband are planning to take some time for themselves and to explore the world before settling down for their next phase of life. Please join me in wishing her all the best on her exciting new adventure.
