Post Commander Candidate Comments 2024

Our Post has received much attention since we opened our new home in April 2018.  It took seven years from start to finish to rebuild, invigorate, motivate, and decide what we wanted to do to better.  We are forever learning how to best serve our members.  We have been fortunate to have had some pretty impressive officers and members help to make the change possible.  Today, our challenges are ever-growing.  There is much yet to do.  

As each year approaches we think about our successes, hiccups, surprises, and more.  Becoming a leader and eventually an officer takes a lot of work.  We thank all of you who have contributed.  We also thank all of you for your support of our officers and committee members.   

Now, we are preparing to select our new officers.  Some will return in a more senior position and others will continue in their current positions.   

The most important office is that of Post Commander.  It is also the most challenging.  We salute Commander Jim Parise for his stellar performance this past year.  He has been very, very busy.  He may be giving up the gavel, but he remains a member of the Post Executive Committee as the Immediate Past Post Commander.  He, like all Past Post Commanders before him, will serve as a counselor and mentor to the incoming new Post Commander.  In fact, each Past Post Commander attends each PEC meeting to provide valuable historical insight into “new” challenges and opportunities.   (All Past State Commanders perform in the same way.  You will find them in the front row of all State sessions and at the Department Executive Committee.)

We have two members nominated for Post Commander this year.  Each one is eager to serve.  Both are well known at the Post.  We provide candidates for Post Commander an opportunity to share their background and vision for the future.  You can download their statements by clicking on their link or picture below.
