The National Headquarters is pleased to announce that Mr. Thomas Bradford has joined the staff as our Publications and Media Manager.
Mr. Bradford is a graduate of Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK and calls Tulsa home. With more than 25 years of graphic design and project management experience, he brings his talents to the National Headquarters and will assume the duties of publishing The Podium, managing our national websites, and creating the images and documents we need to represent our national programs and events.
Thomas is father to four grown children and Papa to four grandsons. He enjoys spending as much time outdoors as possible; running, camping, hiking, sailing, golfing, playing or refereeing soccer, working on a project, or just relaxing on the patio.
We are excited to have Thomas join our team. Look for him at a district or national convention this year.
