Welcome New Members-At-Large!
In December of 2017, with the support of a vote by the
membership, the APA-NM Chapter amended its by-laws to
include two additional voting “Members-At-Large” to expand
the diversity and capacity of the Chapter Board. With several
highly qualified candidates submitting letters of interest the board decided to
randomly select candidates from a hat at the February Board meeting. As a result,
we now welcome:
Rosa Kozub AICP - Rosa, a recent recipient of AICP status, supervises the
Government to Government Unit in NMDOT’s Statewide Planning Bureau and
has been active with APA in NM since 2011. Rosa has expertise in all elements of
transportation planning including Active Transportations having the led the State
as the Bicycle/Pedestrian/Equestrian Coordinator.
James Foty - James is a community planner who recently joined the team at
Consensus Planning and has his own firm, Anima Design, which focuses on
interactive online mapping and smaller-scale community assessments. James was
instrumental in helping APA-NM implement the Plan4Health New Mexico
Assessment and the associated story-maps.
And joining us in January of 2019…
Daniel J. Hortert AICP - Daniel is the current Economic
Development Specialist and Special Projects Manager for
Doña Ana County and has over 20 years experience in all
aspects of Community and Economic Development including private sector
planning in Arizona and California.
Daniel will be stepping into the shoes of our current Member-At-Large
Judith Suiter, ASLA, and Principal of Zephyr Design Inc who is a leader in the
field of environmental planning specializing in technical assistance including
NEPA-related proposals. Judy has been serving APA-NM for the past 4 years.
