ANS, ANB Pick Officers at 109th Grand Camp
At the Alaska Native Brotherhood and Alaska Native Sisterhood 109th Grand Camp Convention, Marcelo Quinto of Juneau was elected ANB president and Daphyne Albee of Seattle was elected ANS president.
The convention, held in Juneau in October, was a hybrid event, with participation in-person as well as on-line.
“We’re looking forward to a year of progress with these great officers working together. We are from different towns and different generations with a common dedication to civil rights,” Albee said.
“The issues that the previous generations fought for are important today,” Quinto said. “We’ll be visiting classrooms to inform younger people and help them get involved with our non-partisan organization working to support voting rights and equality in schools.”
Other officers elected are:
Woodrow Watson, Saxman, ANB Grand First Vice President;
Heather Powell, Hoonah, ANS Grand First Vice President; Paul Johnson, Ketchikan, ANB Grand Second Vice President; and Cyndi Reeves, Anchorage, ANS Grand Second Vice President.
Also, Eric Morrison, Juneau, ANB Grand Treasurer; Elias Chase, Portland, ANS Grand Treasurer; Tamzyn Alzyout, Portland, ANB Grand Secretary; Carol Duis, Haines, ANS Grand Secretary; Chad Titell, Sitka, ANB Grand Sergeant at Arms; and Mary Moreno-Soots, Anchorage, ANS Grand Sergeant at Arms.
