In the Spotlight

Donald G. Godfrey has been elected president of the Broadcast Education Association by the association’s board of directors. A member of the Mesa Arizona 45th Ward, Mesa South Stake, Brother Godfrey counsels parents to watch good television programs with children: “Watch programs that teach about people, cultures, current events, or the environment.” His duties include the development of teaching, research, and service opportunities for students and faculty in broadcast education.

Overcoming long odds, Shari Avance Buck of North Las Vegas, Nevada, won election in June to a seat on the city council, joining the mayor and one other council member who are also Latter-day Saints. Sister Buck, a 38-year-old mother of four and graduate of Brigham Young University, marshalled a door-to-door campaign with the help of her husband and children. She is a Gospel Doctrine teacher in the Craig Ranch Ward, North Las Vegas North Stake, where her husband serves as bishop.
