Cynthia has been with the COA since March of 1999 where her performance excellence earned her increasingly senior positions, becoming involved in almost every aspect of the COA’s operations, projects, and initiatives.  Her most recent promotion in 2016 was to Executive Director, Strategic Initiatives where she tackled important strategic issues critical to the COA’s continued growth with success, such as: improving use of technology to allow a more sophisticated approach to serving the needs of members, initiatives to expand the COA’s core mission beyond the Annual Meeting, refining membership benefits and communications, diversifying revenue opportunities, seeking new opportunities to better engage members with the COA, and managing the Association’s expansion into improved strategic planning and advocacy, amongst other achievements.

“Cynthia’s ability to bring tremendous innovation to our organization, her focus on delivering value to members, and her overall vision for the COA will continue to be instrumental for the advancement of the Association into the future.” Dr. Mark Glazebrook, COA President 2019-2020.
