Who runs the Society on a day-to-day basis?
A. As indicated above, the founding members ran the organization as a committee until 1998 when the Society was formalized with the election of a Board of Directors and the adoption of Bylaws. In their first meeting in St Louis, MO, the Board established a process by which the Society would operate in the future. Since that time the Society has had only two employees. The first was Gene Riggs, who retired in 2001, then Susan K. Sunny, who retired in 2006. Pamela Murphy joined the RPA to take over the duties of Susan. Pamela maintains the RPA office in Downers Grove, Illinois and handles the day-to-day affairs of the Society. Her duties include maintaining the membership database, collecting dues, maintaining and cataloging member CE’s, and answering membership inquires by phone and email.
