On June 28, the Department of Arizona held the elections for new officers at their convention. Ross Bergstresser was named new department commander. Ken Queen was named new National Executive Committeeman. Manny Beltran was named new alternate National Executive Committeeman. All candidates quickly shook hands with the winners, showing style and grace in the elections. Everyone had a great campaign for the different offices. In elections there are always winners and losers, but the gracious manner everyone handled themselves in was something for Arizona to be proud of. A salute to the winners. A thank-you to Gary Vaughan, our outgoing department commander; he set the level high for what can be accomplished.
