2nd Vice Bio

​Riders Nation,

Thank you for electing me to serve as your National 2nd Vice during the Norfolk convention.  

For those of you that don't know me, I am a life member of AMVETS Post 48 in De Soto, Missouri and an Army National Guard Veteran.  I enlisted in 1984 and served six years, including two trips overseas.

I joined the AMVETS in 2008 and became a charter member of Riders Chapter 48 in 2009.  In 2013 I took office as the Chapter 1st Vice, and was elected Chapter President the following year.  Since that time, I have held the offices of Department 2nd Vice, 1st Vice, and for the past two years I have served as Riders President of the Department of Missouri.

Since 2013, I have attended all National Mid-Years and Conventions.  I have served on the Programs, Membership, Bylaws, and Mid-Year committees.
 
I am looking forward to this coming year, working with all of you on your programs, reporting and continuing Tom McNamara's work with the Long Range Plan.

LRB/LRS,
John Reando, RN2V
