Debbie Shipman Retirement
We are delighted yet disheartened to announce that Debbie Shipman is retiring as President of NWBDA. Debbie’s dedication, experience and knowledge has been the driving force of our company for the past 14 years.
During the past six years, while serving as President, Debbie has instituted many policies, procedures and a corporate culture that will serve NWBDA for many years to come. Her daily contributions and positive attitude will be missed greatly.
We all wish Debbie the very best on her retirement.

We are indebted to Patty’s service and commitment to NWBDA. Her financial acumen has been paramount to the company’s financial success over the past two decades.
We all wish Patty great success and enjoyment in the next phase of her life.
