Please join AMSA's executive in welcoming new Executive Assistant -

Jennifer Mazurek

As AMSA members will recall, AMSA's strategic plan included adding additional resources to assist with convention, website and membership management functions.  Jennifer will be working closely with the Executive Director (Christine) in learning and assisting with growing the association. 

Below is a message from Jennifer, who looks forward to meeting you all at fall convention (Save the date for November 8-10).

My name is Jennifer Mazurek and I have recently joined the AMSA in the role of executive assistant. I am excited about taking on this new role and I’m looking forward to meeting everyone.

I have a diploma in Civil Engineering Technology and have been working for Alberta Transportation out of the Stony Plain office since 2008. I work in highway operations where my main focus is administering the highway maintenance contract and supervising our maintenance contractors. I also look after the operation and maintenance of all the traffic signals and street lighting in the Stony Plain/Leduc areas.

Prior to working for Alberta Transportation, I was employed with Parkland County in the planning and development/engineering department. I also spent many summers working on a survey crew for EXH Engineering on base/pave, grading and municipal construction projects.

In my spare time, I volunteer with the Spruce Grove Kinettes and the Horizon Stage in Spruce Grove. I also enjoy getting outdoors to go hiking, camping and to ride my quad. In the winter, I like to snowmobile in the mountains and down-hill ski.

Plans are being made for a sure-to-be-great APWA / AMSA ZONE4 Peace Region Idea Group (PRIG) show on Friday the 29th of April, 2022, from 10am to 3pm in High Prairie (Big Lakes County).

Including a networking indoor lunch, with a potential weather date of Friday the 5th of May, 2022.  Exact location to be determined pending response given about 20 vendors are being invited and about 60 attendees will be invited once the location is definite.
