It\u2019s time for the Grange and other organizations to speak up, and insure the health and survival of rural areas and a high quality of life. That\u2019s one of my major issues now as State Master.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Strawder is the state\u2019s youngest President and will be the youngest State President at National Session, however, he is among many youth that are filling leadership positions across the country National Grange President Ed Luttrell said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe\u2019ve got tremendous young people with vision and excitement serving the organization in all different capacities, and becoming strong voices in State Grange leadership across the country,\u201d Luttrell said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Strawder said he is grateful to have immediate past State Grange President Roger Bostwick, who will now serve as the state\u2019s Legislative Director, as his guide during this year\u2019s National Convention in Boise. Bostwick serves as National Grange Assistant Steward.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bostwick said he is happy Strawder was elected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI\u2019m glad the delegates put faith in him,\u201d Bostwick said. \u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity for Nathan and a great opportunity for the Kansas State Grange.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Strawder has been a member of Otter Creek Grange, Burlington, since he was 14, and previously was a Junior Grange member with Otter Creek and Carbondale Junior Granges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He follows in the footsteps of his grandfather, Randall Schif, who served as State President in the 1980s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Amanda Leigh Brozana, Communications Director | Email On Friday, Sept. 21, delegates to the 141st Kansas State Grange Convention elected Nathan Strawder, 28, of Park City, as their new State Grange President.
