Vice President: Jacqueline Lauder
Jacqueline (Jacque) Lauder recently retired and moved to Lake Arrowhead with her husband Ken. Having a long history with the local mountains in Green Valley Lake and Crestline – they are excited to finally make Lake Arrowhead their permanent home. She retired from teaching at California State University Long Beach in the Gerontology Program and was the former Director of Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP). Jacqueline is an educator and advocate for all Medicare beneficiaries as well as the aging “boomer” population. Jacque considers it a privilege to connect with Mountain Bear Democrats and is looking forward to contributing to the strong voice of Democrats on the mountain.
Treasurer: Dennis Cobb
Dennis and his wife purchased their home in Lake Arrowhead in 1995, after looking for a home “where we want to be”, not necessarily near his job. He worked for about 25 years in the Semiconductor Equipment industry, both as an engineer and an engineering manager. He then continued to work, in San Diego, and later in Pacoima after they were mountain residents. When he retired in 1995, he obtained a real estate license and continues to fool around with that. When he joined the Mountain Bears Democratic Club he had no intention of becoming an officer, or participating other then going to meetings and paying dues. But, the horrifying specter of Trump back in the White House has given him pause, so he decided to participate a little more in the club. Since he took accounting classes 50 years ago at CSUF, it seemed that Treasurer was a natural job for him.
