We are delighted to welcome Allmay Liu to our PPDM team. Allmay brings more than 15 years of experience in business administration and accounting to our member support programs. Allmay will support PPDM operations in several areas, including accounting, administration, and member support.
After 15 years of dedicated service to PPDM Members and the energy industry, Amanda is moving on to new opportunities. “Amanda was the backbone that supported everything that PPDM does”, said Trudy Curtis. “Every day, she went above and beyond to meet the needs of every member, every project and every activity of PPDM. She believed in the value PPDM provides to industry and was unwavering in her commitment to the association.”
Amanda’s dedication, thoughtful leadership, and warm spirit have left a lasting impact on PPDM. Whether navigating complex project deadlines or launching new initiatives, her calm presence and steady support were a constant source of strength — and her thoughtful feedback helped us grow both individually and as a group.
On a personal level, Amanda’s kindness and genuine interest in every team member created an atmosphere of collaboration and trust. From her determination to her willingness to lend an ear, she helped shape a workplace culture that was richer and more supportive. While we’ll certainly miss her insights and energy, we’re grateful for the foundation she leaves behind. We wish Amanda all the best in her next chapter — and know that wherever she goes, she’ll inspire and elevate those around her, just as she did here.
