New Secretary

 

By Steve Cronkhite

 

Paul Ingram, 33° was appointed the General Secretary of the Valley of Bellingham in December.  Paul was one of the prime movers in starting the Valley of Northern California in Fortuna, CA.  He has been an Assistant Personal Representative.

 

Until recently, when the Temple Board of Directors was split into the Temple Board and the Executive Board the Secretary was also the building manager and the Secretary of the Temple Board.

 

Now Paul is the General Secretary of the Valley and the Secretary of the Executive Board so he can focus his energy on the important aspects of the Valley of Bellingham, the management of the Valley and its activities by assisting the Masters of the Bodies and the Executive Board. 

 

Paul’s experience in the Valley of Northern California gives the Valley the opportunity to learn the lessons of another Valley.  Paul joins the Valley amidst the trauma of the Valley having three Secretaries in three years.

 

As a Past-Secretary I can tell you that Paul has taken on the most difficult job in the Valley as he is the central focus of everything that happens in the Valley.  Paul will need your help for this to be a smooth transition and I urge you to step forward and offer your help.
