meet our president
Traci Bransford Boss, PRP
Greeting GGEU Members:
I am humbled for the opportunity to serve you as GGEU President for 2025-2027. Please see my NAP and GGEU resume below on the work that I have done for NAP and GGEU. This doesn’t count the countless hours of presentation done to various units and associations.
My theme for 2025-2027 is: Confidence, Communication and Courtesy. 1) Confidence - be confident in using parliamentary procedure; 2) Communication - text, voice smoke signals or drums but contact each other; and 3) Courtesy - listen to each other. Don’t interrupt, and don’t talk so much! Finally, be nice.
My focus is on fundraising, keeping the website current and increasing membership not dues.
I got involved in NAP because my mother, deceased member Gladys T. Bransford, RP-R, was a charter member of GGEU. I started off in a New York unit before joining GGEU in 2017. That next year, I met the GGEU organizer Lucy Anderson and another GGEU charter member Beth Sapp James in Austin at another organization’s western area conference. It was at this meeting where I asked now past GGEU President Beth Sapp James to put me to work. The rest is history. On the NAP side, it was past NAP National President Darlene Allen who put me to work when I contacted and told her I wanted to volunteer my services. And, the rest is history.
