WAEPA Celebrates Team Members’ 25-Year Milestone 

WAEPA is pleased to celebrate three of our dedicated staff members, who reached their 25-year milestone anniversary in 2024. Courtney Brown, Clara Chambliss and Bobbi Walker have each been with the organization since 1999, and through their time with WAEPA, have truly embodied our mission of promoting the health, welfare and financial well-being of Civilian Federal Employees. 

“These three women – Courtney, Clara and Bobbi – are integral to what we do every day,” said CEO M. Shane Canfield. “Not only do they each bring a wealth of institutional knowledge, but they are an incredible example of being member-focused. Their commitment to this organization inspires us to continue to improve as we work to provide excellent service to the Federal workforce.”
