The formation of the Border Chapter in 1983 was due to the vision of many who knew there was a need for another chapter in the southern California area. Southern Chapter's President, Fred Preble was instrumental in organizing the new chapter. As previous members of the Southern Chapter, Border Chapter members traveled many miles to attend meetings in Los Angeles and Orange counties . . . traffic wasn't any better 20 years ago and the distance became an obstacle for many agencies in our area.
The goal of the new chapter became three-fold:
- To Increase participation at meetings,
- To Increase membership,
- To localize the meetings.
Founding members included: Richard Hudnall, Sheila Tarvin, Cathy Balzum, Sue Roos, Connie Sprunk, Ruby Nealges, Pat Fernandez, Billie Bohannon, Pearl Owens, Eleanor Clapp, among others.
Most of these members have since retired from law enforcement. Many have kept active within CLEARS and the BORDER Chapter and are a continued valuable source of information for our newer members.
