I had the pleasure of working with Emily during her tenure as executive director for WBALA. Throughout her many years in this role, Emily consistently demonstrated exceptional organization, a sharp intellect and a keen ability to solve problems with efficiency and creativity. Her deep knowledge of our professions — and the regulations that guide them — was evident in every interaction. She remained fully engaged with the board’s work, providing valuable insight and guidance with a balance of professionalism and wit that made her not only an effective leader but also a joy to collaborate with. Emily is someone I’ve always admired for her intelligence, integrity and dedication. Beyond being a great colleague, she is a dear friend whose presence has made a lasting impact on all of us. — Allison Fleury, Past WBALA Vice President Emily was fabulous to work with. As a new board member, she made me feel welcome to the board and was generous with her time (which she didn’t have much of) to ensure I understood my new role and had all my questions answered. With her knowledge, kindness and sharp wit, I’m going to miss her! — Colleen J. Nelson, AIA, WBALA Board Member Emily receiving the 2025 NCARB Presidential Medal from NCARB President VanTine Andy (NCARB Moderator), Emily Cronbaugh and Katie Wilson (WBALA President) speaking at NCARB Summit Having the opportunity to work with Emily for my first term on the WBALA was awesome! Emily strives for greatness and wants to see those around her succeed. She brought a depth of knowledge to our board, drawing on her extensive experience gained while working for the State of Wyoming. Her willingness to get involved and play an active role on committees and boards for NCARB and CLARB was a gift to WBALA. The resources and friendships made available to me and our board members are broad and deep — and directly a result of Emily’s inclusive and fun nature. We already miss her, but love that she is being challenged and growing in new ways. All the best to you, Emily! — Aimee E. Bolton, AIA, WBALA Secretary/Treasurer 19
