It’s a pleasure to introduce you to two new AAP YEG members who have joined us recently:

Meet Shelley Phillips! With over 35 years at ATB Financial, Shelley is a trusted Business Coordinator supporting the VP of the Greater Edmonton & Fort McMurray Market. Known for her dedication, expertise, and organizational excellence, she’s been an integral part of ATB’s leadership success.

Outside of work, Shelley is a proud wife and mom who loves camping, crocheting, gardening, and filling her home with homemade goodness through canning, baking, and cooking.

Meet Marguerite Denman!  Meet Marguerite Denman! An experienced administrative professional with a background in both non-profit and government, she’s known for being one step ahead—much like Radar O’Reilly from the MASH* sitcom. 

Outside the office, Marguerite enjoys family time (they’re big Lego fans!) and expresses her creativity through stained glass art.

Connect with her on LinkedIn: Marguerite Denman | LinkedIn

Just a reminder: the AAP and its branches are completely volunteer-run. By members, for members. That means we rely on people like you to keep things going.

 

 

The Association of Administrative Professionals (AAP) Edmonton Branch is proud to take an active role in the community we serve. Across Canada, AAP branches contribute to their local communities through volunteer efforts and monetary donations that support charities and organizations making a difference.

In February 2025, AAP YEG contributed $100 to Women Building Futures, supporting their mission to empower women to succeed in the trades.

As a thank-you to the AAP YEG for hosting the 2025 National AGM and Conference in Edmonton, the AAP National Board also donated $1,206 to Suit Yourself in June, helping provide professional clothing and confidence to women entering the workforce.
