Pam Zukor retires from CMA

Pam Zukor has retired after 13 years at the CMA as Office Manager and PA to the Director.
She joined the CMA in January 2002 and retired at the end of February this year.
Bidding farewell to her on behalf of the association and its members at the close of its Feedback Session in February, Financial Director John Simpson paid tribute to her for her loyal and dedicated service.
“Pam has been with us through thick and thin. She has great rapport with members and I recall many circumstances in which she was cool and calm. She had an unmistakable way of being able to cope with difficult situations and we appreciate what she has done for the CMA,” he said.
Zukor recalls that she was called “The Karate Kid” for a long time following an incident in which then Director John Cairns and a colleague phoned her for help as they had got themselves locked inside the CMA’s offices. She found the security staff unable – or unwilling – to do anything so she took charge of the situation herself by kicking in a window pane. This did the trick as it enabled the two men to clamber out to freedom.
