Committee members are at your disposal at all times to take up any matter which you feel requires attention. Please see Contact Us for contact details.
APA is a fast, efficient and effective operation. It has access to the authorities and gets results.
All APA asks from you is the opportunity and means to look after the attractions of the area in which we live. Which amounts to your support and a nominal $20.00 per annum membership fee. We need both.
APA would like to place on record its gratitude and thanks to Sue Martin, who left the Committee at the 2018 AGM to take up a role with the Save Mona Vale Hospital group. Sue has been a tireless APA committee member for decades, and initiated the APA Bulletins in the 1980s.
We also acknowledge and thank Pat Gleen, who took a well-earned retirement from the Committee at the 2017 AGM and died in October 2023 aged 93. Pat made major contributions to the APA Committee for more than 25 years.
At the 2022 AGM Peter Mayman stepped down as President after more than a decade in the pocition. Fortunately Peter continues to serve on the Committee. Many thanks Peter.
Conrad Grayson stepped down from the committee in 2024 after serving for a decade, but has kindly agreed to make his expert advice available to the committee where appropriate.
Ken Roberts continues to serve as our Treasurer while we recruit into the Treasurer’s position.
All these wonderful members continue their active involvement in APA.
