Anne Mason, Association Director


In 2006, Anne moved to SFU after eight years with UBC’s Association of Administrative and Professional Staff (AAPS). Now, as APSA's Association Director, Anne provides support to the President and committees by researching legal issues, liaising with legal counsel, maintaining the financial books and budget and supervising the Association’s day-to-day operations. Anne provides assistance to all members to ensure the association is relevant to their needs. She loves seeing members enjoying themselves at the social events and hearing that a PD event has made a difference in member's life. Outside of work, Anne is a passionate gardener, an avid reader and an enthusiastic traveler.

Melanie Lam, Administrative Assistant



From orientation to planning events to helping members get on board with the transit pass program, Melanie keeps the APSA office humming. Previously working with UBC, Melanie joined APSA in 2006. With a membership of over 800 (and growing!), Melanie ensures members, committees and the Executive Board are thoroughly supported in their work. Amidst a busy office, Melanie finds no two days are alike and enjoys the variety and ability to be creative in her work. After hours, Melanie relaxes by watching her teenage daughter perform at dance competitions, taking trips to the mall and escaping the city limits to camp with friends.

Kelsey Newsham, Communications Coordinator


Joining the Association in 2010, Kelsey is APSA’s newest team member. A former graduate and employee of SFU, Kelsey is back and brings with her experience in creating communication material and website content. Kelsey works to keep members informed and updated on the behind-the-scenes work APSA carries out on their behalf. Through monthly newsletters, email marketing, web writing, and other communication material, Kelsey creates an environment for two-way communication between APSA and its members. When she's not at work, Kelsey can be found swimming at Buntzen Lake or roasting smores over her backyard fire pit.
