Jerry Wright – Vice President – District #1
Greetings – I am honored to be serving on the District 1 Board and partnering with the officers and directors in supporting excellent communication with the Zone Directors and officers of each Lodge. I served as Zone 4 director for the past six years and previously 4 years as alternate Zone Director. Attending lodge meetings along with International and District conventions has provided me with many experiences and heighten my interest to continue working with and for local Lodges. In partnership with others, I hope we see enhanced growth in membership and creative, exciting and FUN cultural events for your membership and community.
