Barbara Scheele Takes the Helm as Only the Second Woman President in AFA’s Long History
October 29, 2019

Dear Members,
On October 28th,2019 at a meeting of the Executive Committee our President stepped down. In accordance with the bylaws I have filled the position of President of this great association. I was sworn in, and took the oath of office, it is a privilege to have the trust of AFA Executive Committee to lead this outstanding association. As the First Vice President and serving on the Executive Committee for the last several years I feel ready to the lead and fill the shoes of my predecessor.
As in the past we face many challenges in our industry, it is my goal to work towards finding some solutions to these ongoing obstacles we face. Excellent team work from our Board has brought improvement on all fronts. Although we have a monthly newsletter, one of my main goals during my Presidency will be to do a better job of keeping our members informed and up-to-date.
Together and with my guidance, you may rest assure that in all counts, your board of directors’ best efforts will be put forth. Each Board Member and Committee Chair has a specific area of focus, and each brings a wealth of knowledge, talent and passion to the association. I encourage the membership to become more involved. This is an All-Volunteer organization and we can use your knowledge and diversity to keep us moving forward for the benefit of all.
In closing I look forward to working with everyone and thank you in advance for all your support.
Barbara Scheele
President
Allied Finance Adjusters Conference Inc.
