She specifically requested each of those three committees in each of her terms and was gratified that leadership recognized her abilities and allowed her to serve on them.

Nancy was very active in Republican politics for many years, both in CA and continuing after their move to AZ.

She served as president of the Victor Valley Republican Women, secretary of the Victor Valley Republican Women, and treasurer of the San Bernardino County Republican Central Committee.

In one year, she was serving in all three capacities at the same time!

She has also been involved with community activities, serving as chapter chairman for the American Red Cross in Victorville, on the advisory board of the Laughlin/Bullhead Salvation Army chapter, and was on the board of directors of the Colorado River Concert Association.
