22 The Authority | June 2024 PMAA E mployee R etires A fter T hree D ecades Who is that person with the friendly voice when you call PMAA, or the cheerful face with a warm greeting and helpful directions at a PMAA workshop or at conference registration? That very special person is Cindy Geesaman, PMAA Senior Administrative Assistant! After 31 years of devoted service to the Association, Cindy retired in June. She oversaw all member records and database management, roster sheets, dues administration, conference preparations, and Unemployment Compensation plan premiums, among many other duties. “Cindy performed these responsibilities not only with extreme efficiency but also great care”, said Doug Bilheimer, Executive Director. “In addition to her strong work ethic, Cindy was thoughtful and generous and considered PMAA staff her family,” reflected Wendy Fonner, Deputy Executive Director of Administration. Cindy’s wealth of knowledge and expertise has been invaluable to PMAA. And you could always count on her to help wherever needed. She was truly the ultimate team player – assisting others in any way she could, from fixing any office equipment malfunction to sharing exotic goodies for everyone from her European travels. We will miss you and wish you, our dear friend, all the best! Enjoy retirement!
