addressed and prioritized. In many ways, she was
the glue of the Finance offi ce and was always
quick to discuss the Washington Nationals' last
game or to remember the kids with a treat when
they were in the offi ce. The Finance corner of the
building may seem a bit quieter these days, but
we wish Beth well in her retirement.
Harold James, Mail and
Production Supervisor
It has been so nice to work with Beth all these years.
It has always been so easy to ask Beth any questions
about benefi ts and payroll. I will miss seeing her in
the Finance department with her joyful smile. I hope
she enjoys her retirement and keeps in touch.
Beth had the best interests of
APMA at heart in everything she did.

Thank you, Beth, for being a great friend-APMA

I have been so fortunate to have Beth in my life
for almost 20 years! She is an amazing woman-
maternal, funny, disciplined, and a role model for
me at APMA. We share a love for the Washington
Nationals and the Outer Banks. I enjoy talking
to her about all the babies and fur babies in our
families; she has that rare gift of making others
feel valued. I wish Beth and John (and Agnes, her
cat) the very best in this new chapter, and I hope
she gets to enjoy many luxurious hotels with an
ocean view!

Beth Carr was always very knowledgeable and
friendly, and we always joked that she was the

Executive Director and CBO
Beth has always been willing to do whatever was
needed to help, and she had the best interests of
APMA at heart in everything she did. I have never
worked with a more professional, thoughtful, and
trustworthy person. I wish Beth many years of happy
and healthy retirement. She sure deserves it!
Sandy Saylor, Associate
Director, CPME
I have worked at CPME for 22 years, so I have
known Beth Anne for a long time. I remember
when I was introduced to Beth Anne, she was so
welcoming. She made a nervous " kiddo " feel calm.
She always took the time to answer my questions
(and believe me, there were many). She never
just gave me the answer but always explained the
" why " behind the answer. Beth Anne, I will miss
you, your laugh, your smile, and especially your
hugs. We may no longer be coworkers, but we will
always be friends. Enjoy retirement!
Richard Schwarz, Registry Manager
Beth was always kind and patient with my endless
questions, whether by email or when I just stopped
by her offi ce. She was never too busy to take the
time to explain in detail whatever it was that I
needed to do and always made me feel welcome
and comfortable in her offi ce. She was especially
helpful when I was just starting out with APMA. I
wish her all the best in her retirement.
Diane Yokum, Senior Membership
Services Representative
I thank Beth for being such a wonderful colleague
and friend and wish her all the best on her welldeserved
retirement!
