Valli Norland moved to Phoenix, Arizona, in 1993 from Colorado and joined ARMA in 1995. She was Chapter President from June 1998 - June 2000 and was one of the original members of the Outreach Program, which began in 1996.  The Phoenix ARMA Chapter was given special recognition for that program at the June 1997 Leadership Conference.

Valli worked mainly in the micrographics industry both in production and sales. Her employment in the "valley" (as the Phoenix area is known) included Comgraphics, Lin-Cum and Anacomp.  She decided to make a career change and most recently was employed by Osborn Maledon in their Records Management Department.

Valli was a free spirit, very generous with her friends and very compassionate about her community. With that free spirit she loved being outrageous delighting her friends and acquaintances with her quick wit and unique sense of humor.  Valli made friends very easily and will be missed by each and every person whose heart she touched.
