SEC Tradition Reestablished


A long time tradition of the Society was re-introduced at the Dallas SEC meeting in March. Leo Goseland, our newest Full Counselor, was administered the SEC Counselors Oath by Mark Johnson, 1st Vice President of the Society during a reception for Members and Guests at the Dallas meeting. Joined by his wife, Deborah, Leo accepted the responsibilities associated with full counselor membership and stated, “It is a great thrill and honor to become a member of the Society. I intend to be an active member and do my part to live up to the traditions and spirit of the Society.”
Leo was welcomed into the Society by the Members and candidates in attendance who joined in to shake his hand and offer their congratulations.
The SEC Counselors Oath will be administered to all new members thus re-establishing a tradition of the Society.
