Ken Martin named APS Executive Director
Perhaps the best explanation of this piece of news is that "Interim"
was removed from Ken's job title. Here is a copy-and-paste from the American Philatelic Society's web site: President Wade Saadi today announced the appointment of Ken Martin as the 124-year-old Society’s sixth Executive Director. Martin has served as Interim Executive Director since Peter Mastrangelo’s departure in April 2009. The announcement was made at a special Staff meeting at the American Philatelic Center, at which Saadi, and Steven Rod, APS Vice President, were present on behalf of the Board of Directors. A collector since the 5th grade, Martin is a 30-year APS member whose first real contact with organized philately was as a student at the 3rd annual APS Summer Seminar in 1982. Less than two months later he began college at Penn State University and began volunteering in the American Philatelic Research Library two afternoons each week. By his second term in college State he had founded the Penn State Stamp Club. Ken’s first paid employment with the APS was during the summers of 1985 and 1986 when he worked primarily in Expertizing and the Library. Ken skipped college graduation and delayed summer 1986 employment a few weeks so that he could volunteer at AMERIPEX 86. In 1995, following undergraduate and graduate work in Computer Science and Political Science, Ken began full-time APS employment in the Circuit Sales Department. On a personal note, I am very pleased that Ken has been given the job. I've known him for some fifteen years. All my dealings with him have shown Ken to be helpful, competent, and to have a lot of knowledge of both APS and stamp collecting. Good decision APS Board of Directors! Stan Fairchild |
