Sarah Diehl Appointed as New Chapter Secretary

On November 15, 2019, the APA Maryland Board voted to appoint Sarah Diehl to fill the remainder of the term of Board Secretary to replace Holly Tompkins, who unfortunately needed to step down for personal reasons. Sarah will serve as one of the 11 voting members of the APA Board until December 31, 2020.

Sarah currently works at JMT where she is an urban planner and landscape designer. She enjoys focusing on multi-modal transportation planning efforts and streetscape design projects. She is experienced in transportation planning, research techniques, GIS data analysis, technical writing, public meeting facilitation, and graphic design and holds a bachelor’s degree in landscape architecture and a master’s degree in urban/regional planning. She recently served on the MD APA 2019 Conference Committee and was instrumental in planning and executing our successful fall conference at Rocky Gap, Maryland. Outside of the office, Sarah enjoys reading, cooking, taking on DIY projects, and traveling with friends and family. She is currently working towards her AICP certification.

APA Maryland welcomes Sarah aboard, and wishes Holly good luck in all of her future endeavors. If you are interested in volunteering with APA Maryland, send us an email at contact@apamaryland.org and let us know how you would like to become involved.
