Happy Birthday to our Membership & Fundraising Director, Jennifer!

Jenn is truly the one who makes it all happen! She keeps us organized, keeps things moving, and somehow always knows exactly what needs to be done (and usually has it handled before the rest of us even think of it!). Her dedication and heart make AMA better every day.

We’re incredibly lucky to have her on our team. Please join us in wishing Jenn a very happy birthday! 🎂⛏️
