Please send address updates to Mark Cooksey (markcooksey71@yahoo.com) to ensure you receive a updates on events.
Elections are now held biannually according to the amended Chapter By Laws. We have three officers: President, Secretary, and Treasurer. There are also three at-large Council Members. The current officers and council are:
Officers:
President – Mark Cooksey ‘71
Secretary - Jim Unger '53
Treasurer - Skip Phipps '73
Council:
Jock Craig '53
John Morris '61
Ed Hepp '67
We owe a debt of gratitude to Tim Myers '64 for his long service as President. He has handed over the reigns to Mark Cooksey '71 now. A recent change to the bylaws now has the officers serving two year terms, so the next election will be in May, 2013.
As a matter of courtesy and tradition the living and available past presidents and the current alumni Oregon B&G director are invited to participate in all Council meetings as Ex Officio (not elected and non-voting) and they are:
Butch Bewick '62 Blue & Gold of Oregon
Tim Myers '64 Past President
