Celebrating 10 Years
In 2024, the Archive marked its 10-year anniversary. This important milestone was made possible through the vision and dedication of its founders, Dr. Jodi Frey and Dr. Patricia Herlihy.
The San Francisco Chapter of EAPA has proudly contributed historical documents that trace the origins of what would become the Employee Assistance Professionals Association. We continue to support the Archive through annual financial contributions and encourage everyone involved in the EA field to do the same.
