New Executive Board Seated
The JMHSAA Board
of Directors has elected new leadership. First, we give a
standing ovation to Mark Levy for holding the reigns
of
the Association during the past two years. We appreciate his
leadership and insight into the world as he saw it. Mark
will continue to serve John Muir High School and the Board
of Directors (now without restrictions - smile) as a regular
board member. Mark will also serves as "Toast Master" or "MC"
at our many events as no one else can match his wit and
charm.

Also passing the baton is Doug Kosobayashi our
CFO. Doug has been the Association's
CFO
since it's inception and has decided to let some younger eyes
stare at those balance sheets for a while. Doug, thank you for
the many hours spent to assure that the money we have been
entrusted with was cared for in a professional manner. Doug will
also continue as a regular board member.

Neal Brockmeyer has served as recording
secretary, vice-president and president of the
Association
and is finally going to get a break from his "second job."
Neal accepted the role of president when the founder and driving
force of JMHSAA, Chuck Bradford, was unable to continue due to
illness. Thank you for all of your efforts and wisdom you shared
with us since this organization began.

Lou Underwood, board member from the beginning
and former Muir football coach that turned
everything
around for the football squad has retired from the board, but
will never retire from supporting the organization or the
school. Thanks, "Coach!"

Continuing to serve on the executive board is
Lewis Peters II. Lewis was the board's
secretary
and has been voted in to serve as it's 1st Vice-President. Lewis
will continue to bring his staunch support for the school and
the Association. His continued presence as an executive on the board will add to the success of the organization.

Chuck Malouf, the official school cheerleader,
will continue his duties as Vice-President
of JMHSAA. Chuck is also the co-president of "Friends of the
Mustang." As a former teacher at Muir (although most think he
still is a teacher since he's there everyday), Mr. Malouf holds
a special place in his heart for the students and teachers at
Muir. He keeps everyone informed of the day-to-day events at
Muir.
Stepping up to fill some mighty large shoes are
Jill Hawkins, Brian Russell, Pam Sheffield and Jim Henderson.
Brian Russell ('65) has accepted the
Chief
Financial Officer position from Doug. Brian, Doug and George Ito
have been the Finance committee for the Association since day
one. Brian, a CPA with a long-time business in Pasadena, will
now head the committee and help the association build and
protect its funds and file all of the appropriate tax and
corporation forms required to keep us afloat in these bleak
economical times.
Pam Sheffield ('67) was happy to accept the
position of
Secretary.
Pam joined the board in 2007 and has been very involved with the
board on all levels since then. One of Pam's joy was to fund a
need for the school's basketball team in her late father's
honor. Pam's vision for the future for JMHSAA is that of it's
success to be the best high school Alumni Association ever.

Jill Hawkins ('89), now in her third year as a
board member, has accepted the position of
Vice-President.
Jill, still a Muir "Song Girl" at heart, has so much spirit and
so many ideas to bring to the table to maintain and improve the
Muir Spirit. She is a member of the committee to help complete the renovation of the
football field.
And the incoming president of the Alumni
Association is Jim
Henderson
('70). Jim has been a very active member of the Alumni
Association since 2005. His duties includes the creation and
upkeep of the Association's website. He handles most of the
publicity and
communications for JMHSAA and is very dedicated
to the organization. His enthusiasm for the organization and the
school is second to none. He wants the dream that Chuck Bradford
has for the Alumni Association to be realized and will work
toward that end.
The executive board members were accepted
unanimously on
September 12, 2009 during a regular board
meeting.
Congratulations to the New Executive Board
