Gastwirth, Spinosa Depart APMA Positions

At the APMA House of Delegates, we saw two familiar names step down from their lengthy leadership roles:

Glenn Gastwirth: Dr. Gastwirth, DPM stepped down as APMA’s executive director and CEO in October 2015 and officially will retire in May from his current role as an APMA senior consultant.

APMA Executive Director and CEO James R. Christina, DPM, presented Dr. Gastwirth with the Executive Director’s Award. The award has been renamed in Dr. Gastwirth’s honor: The Glenn B. Gastwirth Leadership Award.

Frank Spinosa: Dr Spinosa finished his term as Immediate Past President on the APMA Board of Trustees upon the swearing in of the new president Daniel Davis. Spinosa, a former NYSPMA president, was honored at the APMA House for his dedicated service and received an enthusiastic ovation from the House and from the NYSPMA delegation, which joined alongside him at the podium for his outgoing remarks.

Spinosa and his wife Robin Ross, also a past NYSPMA president, will be relocating to New Mexico. We wish them the very best in their new home.
