Officers for the 2018-2019 year

     President:  Jerry Bunce   

I am retired from Boeing. I wrote software that helped build airplanes and spent many years in management. I have a Masters in Organizational Leadership from Gonzaga University, Go Zags! I taught Leadership classes at Bellevue College for nine years. I have been on many Boards over the years including my homeowners board, Special Olympics and the Northwest Center for Emerging Technologies.  I am now enjoying taking TELOS classes and facilitate a Views of the News class. I love the community of learning and the wide variety of classes offered. TELOS is such a great program and resource. I want to help keep it strong and growing for our current TELOSians and all those Boomers coming.  (Previously vice-president of the council)

     Vice-President:  Tim Hay

Starting with TELOS Geology classes, I’ve made some wonderful friends within TELOS through the years.  My time on committees prepared me to serve on the TSO Board in 2013-14, then as our Vice President in 2014-15.  I’ve spent the last two years on the Curriculum Committee.  With Ted Watts, I co-founded our thriving Constitution Club.  I have my B.A. in Econ from Whitman College, and an M.B.A. from Stanford.
Following my dream, merging my flow of creative ideas with my skills in seizing unseen opportunities resulted in my owning a local home-building company for 27 years. I bring these skills to strengthenur TSO Council.  And thanks for voting!

   Secretary:  Alexa Munoz

The Secretary records and communicates information on decisions that coordinate policies and activities within the TELOS Student Organization (TSO).   Information coordination gives the TSO Council the opportunity to reach its goals collaboratively and cooperatively with TELOS participants and college administration.   While working in educational institutions earning funds for my college education, the secretarial skills I developed as a teenager now allow me to continue my commitment to public service in promotion of life-long learning.  I currently am Secretary of the Curriculum Committee, and recently served as Secretary for 3 years in a non-profit organization.
Public service has been an important aspect of my life.   I have served in various Board of Director roles in non-profit organizations, and was appointed to several decision-making positions in city and county government.  I authored a book, and for many years performed as a cellist in orchestras and small ensembles.
My experience also includes the business world where I partnered to co-own a business, and was the proprietress of two other businesses. I earned a BA in Political Science, and an AAS in Environmental Horticulture and Floral Design.  (Continuing as Secretary of the Council)

     Treasurer:  Ron Lebeiko

I joined TELOS four years ago and I am a regular in a Views/News class, and attend classes in history and computers. I much enjoy meeting TELOS people in TSO events and classes. My wife and I relocated from the Midwest to be with our infant grandchildren, who greatly enrich our lives. We also benefit from our new social contacts through TELOS.
Approaching my second year on the TSO Council, I support TELOS’ providing interesting – and affordable – programs for the members. My background is healthcare administration, with a M.A. in Public Administration. Before retirement, I administered projects and conducted feasibility studies – perhaps the most intriguing of which was the sale of an aged hospital in San Francisco for conversion to “luxury condominiums” with bay views.
As Treasurer, I aim to strengthen our vibrant TELOS program. (Previously an at-large member of the Council)
