2010 Update - Welcome Chair David Whitney!

Please join the Executive Committee in welcoming David Whitney as the SoCal SAF Chair for 2010. David works for the Forestry Division (currently assigned to the Vegetation Management Program) of the Los Angeles County Fire Department and has been a member of SAF since 1991. He was elected to the position of Chair-elect last year and has been an active member of the Executive Committee since then.

The Executive Committee would also like to thank outgoing Chair Martin Gubrud for his two years of service in that role. With the relocation of 2008 Chair-elect Scott Eckhardt to northern California, Martin graciously agreed to serve a second term at the helm.

Check back periodically as the Executive Committee has plans underway for the 2010 Spring and Fall Meetings in San Dimas and at Mt. Wilson, respectively. We will also be posting information for the Chapter meetings as they become available.

Here is the Executive Committee for 2010:

David Whitney - Chair

Tamara Hanna - Treasurer, Membership & Awards Chair
Samantha Conn - Secretary
Martin Gubrud - Past Chair
