Advanced from part-time youth counselor 1975, to twice-elected Town Supervisor (highest elected Town officer; Population 40,000; $9 million budget) and Chair, Henrietta NY Town Council 1982-1985.
I have served VVA as Chair, National Governmental Affairs Committee; Chair, National Constitution Committee; Chair, Convention Rules Committe; National Parliamentarian; Chair, Convention Resolutions Committee; Member, National Veterans Benefits and Constitution Committees; Presenter, National Leadership Conferences; ten-year Director, and Vice President, Chapter 20 (Life Member), Rochester, NY; Delegate, State Council.
The Vice President's first priority is to be immediately available to serve in the President's absence. I pledge to work faithfully at our President's side, regardless of who is elected to that post, insuring that we are always on the "same page."
I am a skilled leader in bringing people together. I cannot promise solutions to all of VVA's challenges; however, I can promise that I will always try.
My record shows that I believe in working my way up. I am experienced, and will be honored, to be your Vice President.
