New State VP for District 7 - Art Byram

on July 21, 2024

 


Art was elected as the new VP at the annual Texas SAR Convention this past March in San Antonio.  Art replaces Richard Zdunkewicz who has become the State Secretary.  

Art is the immediate past president of the Freedom Chapter #38 in the Woodlands.  He is an enthusiastic leader and will do a great job representing our District and our Chapter.

One focus that Art will have is to establish or reinforce a strong Color Guard for each Chapter in the District.  While in the Freedom Chapter a very strong Color Guard tradition was created due to his leadership and vision.  

Art's reinforcing of the strong Color Guard tradition at Freedom Chapter helped result in member David Hamaker being named the State Color Guardsman for 2024.  In addition, he was awarded the Bernardo de Galvez Gold Medal for prolonged Guard service.
