History
The first Officer appointments, to cover the period from Section inception until enough members could be recruited to hold elections, were:
President: Colleen Caldwell, La Crosse, WI
President-Elect: Don MacKinlay, Vancouver, BC
Secretary/Treasurer: Pat Mazik, Marion, AL
The Section became officially established at the 1992 AFS Annual General Meeting in Rapid City, SD; held elections for a Vice President and President-Elect in the summer of 1993; and installed those officers at the 1993 AFS Annual General Meeting in Portland, OR.
