(March/April 2025) Four new members were sworn in to APA’s Board of Directors, along with other members of the 2025–2026 board, on Feb. 7 at the Expo’s Member Breakfast.

Braden Todd of GS2 Awards in Boulder, Colorado; Debbie Susdorf of NetSoft Studio in Carlsbad, California; Nicole Orozco of R.B. Fabrication in Orange, California; and Liz Haas of Rayzist Photomask in Vista, California, are the latest additions to the board.

“I’m excited to join the APA Board of Directors to continue my volunteer path and to collaborate with the other amazing directors,” says Susdorf, who is the director of sales and marketing at NetSoft Studio.

During her time on the board, Susdorf hopes to continue to spread awareness about APA and to increase membership, as well as continue to offer new member benefits.

Orozco, the co-owner of  R.B. Fabrication, is excited to experience APA in a new way during her time on the board. She hopes to help foster communication and bring in more members.

“I’m hoping to help retailers and vendors communicate and learn from each other while bringing in new members to experience this community for themselves,” she says.

Todd, Susdorf, Orozco, and Haas will serve on the board until the APA Expo in 2028.
