Jo-Anne has worked with various trade associations for nearly fifteen years and currently serves as education program manager at the leading association for the construction industry. She is responsible for the planning and execution of educational content for the association’s national programs, conferences and webinars. She also provides speaker and program support including event logistics for in-seat and virtual courses that offer continuing education credits toward workplace training and development as well as professional credentials.
Jo-Anne is extremely hopeful that her experience in program planning, speaker management and event logistics will contribute to carrying out AFL’s mission and goals. She welcomes the opportunity to be part of an organization deeply focused on empowering all abilities through adaptive education and training; assisting individuals with meeting their physical fitness goals; and becoming a trusted resource for the disabled community. Jo-Anne became greatly involved in adaptive fitness after a family member suffered a stroke and had a serious need for continuous physical activity and strength development following rehabilitation treatment. A close friend with a background in physical therapy recommended DPI Adaptive Fitness, and the outpatient facility further suggested adaptive boxing as a physical activity to help improve symptoms and increase mobility. As she faces the new reality of dealing with the family member’s neurologic disorder and physical disability, Jo-Anne is deeply grateful for the support system provided by AFL. She looks forward to the life-long learning and journey towards progress and recovery, and she is incredibly blessed to be residing in the Northern Virginia area with local access to DPI Adaptive Fitness’ valuable programs and training resources and be able to support AFL’s advocacy efforts. Jo-Anne serves as the Event Coordinator for the AFL board. |
