Thank you, Melanie!

You probably know Melanie, she has been the face of ASPSH since 2004, answering your inquiries with kindness and sharing her passion for sexual and reproductive health with the community.
Melanie retired at the end of summer 2023 and will be greatly missed as part of the ASPSH team. She is committed to equity, and in her role as Education Coordinator would always strive to help anyone who wanted to learn to access sexual health workshops and the conference. Thank you, Melanie!
