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.
