MEET THE CANDIDATES PAT ACHESON

Pat has never served on a section management committee, but she brings to the table much enthusiasm to serve the DPS. She has been mountaineering and hiking with the Sierra club for 8 years and has been climbing with the DPS for 4 years. She is active with the DPS. SPS and River Touring Sections. Besides that she is an avid cyclist, kayaker and birder. Pat says 'I don't have the management committee experience, but I do have a real love of the desert and the desire to give time and energy back to a section that has given me much - and what's more important than that?

BILL GRAY

In addition he has served as Outings Chair for the Orange County Group, Treasurer for the Orange County Group, Assistant Group Leader for BMTC, and Safety Committee for BMTC. Bill is an 'E' rated leader and leads for both DPS and SPS.
