Lyle, I have nothing to do with the election of Regional officers outside my own Region 4 ... As near as I can see from the AHS website there is a Region 7 which includes Arizona, California, Hawaii and Nevada. There are no Regional officers listed for Region 7. Why, I don't know, maybe someone from Region 7 should ask this question of AHS.
Respect, yes, many people volunteer countless hours working within AHS, much of which goes unnoticed.
