In Memoriam: Gerald “Jerry” Waelti

It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we share with you the news that Gerald Waelti has passed away. Jerry was WAPA’s longest-tenured Executive Director, serving from 1986-2003, and will be dearly missed by all who knew him. There wasn’t a better advocate for our industry and we were all so fortunate to work with him over the years.
