Throughout her career with Tobacco Associates, Veronica Martins has been asked to assume many responsibilities. In 1991, Veronica was hired as bookkeeper and assistant to the secretary/treasurer. In that role, she handled the financial and accounting transactions of the organization while assisting TA’s officer with the requirements of that position. Shortly thereafter, she assumed the responsibility of office manager, running the daily operations of TA’s headquarters in Raleigh and assisting with the administrative requirements of TA’s two other satellite offices.
In 2012, the Board of Directors elected Veronica to the position of secretary, a “corporate officer” position within the organization, which she holds today. She works closely with TA’s other officers and staff in planning and coordinating TA’s domestic programs and promotions. Additionally, Veronica is personally involved with international delegation visits and study missions to the US that TA conducts annually.
