미국 배관공 협회(ASPE)는 7월 1일 부로 발효되는 인사 변경 계획을 발표하였다. 전 Director of Membership이었던 Stacey Kidd는 Director of Membership & Meetings로, 전 Education Coordinator이었던 pamela Rosenberg는 새로 생긴 Manager of Education & Certification의 자리로 전보를 명받았다. 이는 Managing Director of Education & Meetings의 자리를 오랫동안 지켰던 Cliff Reis가 떠남으로서 발생한 전보이다. Cliff는 추후에도 비정규직으로 일하며 Stacey 와 Pam의 인수인계, 업무 적응을 도울 예정이다.

MPH, CAE, ASPE의 최고 경영자 Jim Kendzel은 "Cliff의 퇴사를 굉장히 아쉽게 생각하고 그의 새롭고 밝은 미래를 응원한다. Cliff는 우리의 교육과 회의 프로그램을 발전시키는데 매우 큰 기여를 하였고 참여만족도의 증가에도 일조를 하였다. 변화는 기회는 불러온다. 우리의 ASPE 직원들은 Cliff를 잃는 것에 큰 타격을 감수하기보다는 더 나은 서비스를 제공하기 위해 노력할 것이다."라고 말했다.

The American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE) is pleased to announce two personnel changes effective July 1. Former Director of Membership, Stacey Kidd, has been appointed Director of Membership & Meetings, and former Education Coordinator, Pamela Rosenberg, has been promoted to the newly created position of Manager of Education & Certification. These moves were made necessary by the departure of long-time Managing Director/Director of Education & Meetings, Cliff Reis, who will continue to work part-time for ASPE through September to help Stacey and Pam transition into their new positions.

Jim Kendzel, MPH, CAE, ASPE Executive Director/CEO notes, “It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Cliff, and we wish him well in the future. Cliff was instrumental in growing our education and conference programs and increasing participant satisfaction levels. With change comes opportunity, and as always, our ASPE team has stepped up to ensure that the impact of losing Cliff will be minimized and that we will continue to provide the level of service that our members have come to expect.”

In her new role, Stacey will be responsible for the logistical planning and execution of ASPE’s two major professional development events: the ASPE Technical Symposium and the ASPE Convention & Exposition, serving as the primary point of contact with hotels, convention centers, vendors, and other service providers. She will continue performing the responsibilities of her previous position as Director of Membership, which she held for seven years, including the development and hands-on implementation of all activities of ASPE’s Membership Services Department. Still working closely with Stacey is Jinnie Yoo, ASPE’s Membership & Meetings Coordinator, who will take on additional responsibilities, including managing ASPE’s Fellows Program, the Alfred Steele Scholarship, and ASPE’s Mentor Program. 

“ASPE members have become accustomed to first-class meeting experiences, and in this role I will work to deliver meetings that exceed those expectations,” Stacey says. “Collaboration with my colleagues will be integral to the achievement of this position’s goals, and I look forward to working with the other members of the ASPE staff to ensure the success of the Society’s events.”

Prior to joining ASPE, Stacey served as the Marketing Manager for the National Association of Realtors (NAR) in Chicago, where she implemented annual marketing plans for NAR’s programs. She has worked for several other associations in Chicago, including Bostrom Corp., the Warehousing Education and Research Council, and the Government Finance Officers Association. Stacey graduated from the University of Wisconsin?Stevens Point with a Bachelor of Science in Communication, and she earned her Master of Science in Integrated Marketing Communication from Roosevelt University.

As ASPE’s new Manager of Education & Certification, Pam will transition ASPE’s professional certification programs?including the Certified in Plumbing Design (CPD) and Certified in Plumbing Design Technician (CPDT) certifications and the Green Plumbing Design (GPD) certificate?from the Membership Services Department to the Education Department and oversee the future administration and development of these programs. She will continue managing all education programs, including conference technical sessions, workshops, and online training. Pam also will be responsible for overseeing ASPE’s social media activities and serving as the staff liaison to the ASPE Young Engineers (AYE) special-interest group.

“ASPE’s certification programs recognize plumbing industry professionals with advanced design skills and help enhance the profession of plumbing engineering,” Pam says. “I am very excited about this opportunity to help fulfill ASPE’s strategic goal to develop further education and professional development programs for our members and others in the plumbing industry.”

Pam graduated from Indiana University with a Bachelor of Science in Public Affairs and a Certificate in Business. Prior to joining ASPE, she worked as the Education and Special Projects Assistant for the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors as well as the Coordinator of Professional Education and Corporate Relations at the Northwestern University School of Law.
