A.F.L.A. OFFICERS

The following men will hold office in the Amateur Fencers League of America during the 1940-41 fencing season (September 1, 1940 - August 31, 1941).
Dr. John R. Huffman - - - President
Richard F. Warren - - - 1st Vice President

Royall S. Snow - - - 3rd Vice President
Leo G. Nunes - - - 4th Vice President

It has been usual in the past to have only one Vice President although additional Vice Presidents have been elected in some years to act authoritatively for the League in particular situations. Examples of this was the election of 2nd and 3rd Vice Presidents from California when the Olympic Games were held in Los Angeles in 1932 and the election of a 2nd Vice President from Illinois when the Outdoor Championships were held at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1933.
This year marks the introduction of a new plan of organization whereby Sectional Vice Presidents have been elected to act in authority under the Board of Governors over matters pertaining to the affairs of the four main fencing groups of the country. Richard F. Warren of Philadelphia, 1st Vice President, will represent the All-Eastern section. Ferard Leicester of San Francisco, 2nd Vice President, will represent the Pacific Coast section. Royall S. Snow of Columbus, Ohio, will represent the Mid-West Section. Leo G. Nunes of New York City will represent the New York Metropolitan Committee and Non-Divisional members.
