Patricia Maxwell
Operations Administrator & Newsletter Editor
Patricia Maxwell first met ASAP's co-founder, Barbara White, in the
summer of 1990. At that time Barbara and Don ran ASAP out of their
home.
Patricia remembers, "During my visits with Barbara, we would talk about
the disorder, her history and the organization. I quickly became
emotionally involved to those fighting these disorders and in the
spring of 1991, I began a relationship with ASAP that has only grown
stronger over the years."
"I have watched the organization
mature with dedicated volunteers who
have helped ASAP 'reach the next level' several times. The knowledge
and awareness of syringomyelia and Chiari have made great strides. This
would not have been possible without the dedication of its members and
Boards. One person can make a difference but through the combined
effort of a
group, the world can be changed."
Patricia and husband, David, live in Longview, Texas. They have four
children and eight grandchildren. When they are not working, they enjoy
spending time with their family.

Jamie Mayhan
Assistant Operations Administrator
Jamie has been an ASAP employee for the past 12 years. She resides in
Longview, TX with her husband, Larry, three sons, Andrew, Levi, and Garrett, and daughter, Bryleigh.
"I first got involved with ASAP while I was in high school. I
volunteered, helping Patricia with much needed filing, numerous
information packages and distributing the newsletter to the rapidly
growing membership. After several years of volunteering, I was hired
part-time and eventually I was hired on full-time. I am not just an
employee of ASAP but am part of the ASAP family. To know that I can
give comfort to a mother, wife or grandparent gives me great joy.
Personally knowing ASAPs co-founder Barbara White and knowing her dream
for ASAP, I feel privileged to be a part of the work that will one day
lead to a cure. Its with that knowledge that I am able to give hope and
comfort to newly diagnosed people. Throughout the years I have met
wonderful and successful people who have overcome the adversity of the
disorders to benefit themselves and their family. Without our dedicated
members, ASAP would not be what it is today. Not just an organization
but a family."
Jamie enjoys spending time with her family and friends, watching
professional sporting events, shopping, making craft projects and
watching her oldest sons sporting events.
