APGO's Director of Member Services Bonnie Fetsko is retiring after more than 20 years of service, and we thought it would only be appropriate to let Bonnie say goodbye in her own words.
A Sincere Farewell
Bonnie Fetsko
After 24 years, I have decided to hang up my APGO name badge and move on to my next chapter. I depart with mixed feelings as APGO has been such a large part of my life. I have been here long enough to remember when we used a credit card slider machine to record CMEs and remember stuffing themed meeting bags, with four-inch-thick meeting programs! I still use the bags for my groceries!
My interaction with APGO members remains the highlight of my career! I’ve enjoyed assisting you in the (sometimes frustrating) tasks of renewing memberships, registering for meetings, and printing receipts. I hope that you found a sympathetic voice at the other end of the phone/computer. It was always my goal to be helpful and informative and to provide personal service in a timely manner…always with a smile. Meeting in person was icing on the cake, putting a name with a face!
I’ve had the pleasure of watching some of your careers grow for 20+ years, along with your families. True friendships were made that I will always treasure! You, too, have watched me grow. My son Joe was 14 when I joined APGO. He had the good fortune of attending some meetings with me and interacting with a lot of you. He is now a married man with 2 young daughters, and they will be a leading part of my “next chapter.” APGO afforded me the opportunity for a really rewarding career while still being a hands-on mom! I’ll always be so grateful for that.
I am convinced that APGO has the BEST members! I am inspired by the time, commitment, and dedication given by you to ob-gyn medical education. Watching the UMEC members work throughout the years has been nothing short of amazing! I’ve always been so proud to be part of this Association. I’ll be watching as you continue to make huge marks in the medical field and fondly think “they were one of mine!”
APGO staff, throughout the years, have worked tirelessly to ensure that your association remains one of the best among the practices. You are in good hands!
So, I thank YOU for the 24 years of memories and friendships! APGO and its members will always hold a soft place in my heart!
