Past Presidents Roll

“The true leader serves. Serves people. Serves their best interests, and in doing so will not always be popular, may not always impress. But because true leaders are motivated by loving concern rather than a desire for personal glory, they are willing to pay the price.” — Eugene B. Habecker in The Other Side of Leadership

The Rocky Mountain Chapter is grateful for the time, energy, and commitment these men and women sacrificed for the betterment of our chapter. We  recognize that our success as a group has come because these leaders have given of themselves as individuals. We are honored by their service to us and their communities.

We celebrate their character and their leadership with this small tribute.

Can you help build this roll? The chapter was first sanctioned in 1952, but over the years we have lost some of the business records, including historical records about our leadership. If you remember who served us over the years, or have any historical records, we’d like to hear from you.
