Jim, with Dist. Commander Wischman and Dist. Aux. Pres. Tami Wagoner
At the District 1 meeting on August 29, 2015, Jim Traner was recognized by the Department for publishing what has been judged to be among the best District newsletters in the state of Washington. A certificate of recognition was presented to Jim by Department Adjutant, Fred Green. Jim served as District 1 Commander for two years, and he is the founder and editor of the award winning newsletter. He has served in that capacity for the past four years and has worked diligently to publish the monthly newsletter.
Jim was elected Post Commander in July 2009 and served in that role for three years. Prior to being elected to that leadership position, he created our Post newsletter, which, since its inception, has also received Department honors. Both the Post and District newsletters are published monthly.
Jim served as District 1 Commander from 2012 until 2014. For the past two years, he has served as Chief of Staff for District 1 Commander Don Wischmann.
