In the past 29 years I have enjoyed being a member of the Moose. I would love the opportunity to elevate to the position of Secretary of the AZ/NM Moose Association. I believe it will go hand in hand with my current position as Sites Chairman. I have learned a lot from my 2 mentors and friends (Jim Henderson and Jerry Stewart) I would like to do them proud. Thank you for your consideration.
