PAST STATE DEPUTIES

Updated 11/14/11
Our Founder


These Past State Deputies were primarily responsible for the successful conduct of the state council. They could not perform all its business details but they had to see they were done properly and on time. This was done through constant supervision of the work of all officers, directors, chairmen, District Deputies and committees. These men set their goal for "a better state council" and their success was acheived by inspiring mutual cooperation and voluntary service from the membership.

Note: The city listed is their hometown, not the council location.
