Chapter Officials

President: Damien Augustine 

 

 After serving four years as Secretary-Treasurer, Damien was elected by the community to serve as the youngest Chapter President in counselor chapter history. Damien is twenty-eight years old and the youngest of all Officials to ever be elected for the chapter, he currently holds a Masters of Arts in english and education. Damien not only spends his entire day reading books and writing, but also working on ways to help his community. He grew up speaking Navajo and learned English in first grade. His life on the reservation has been shaped by many stories and the vast beauty, maybe that’s what led him to become an Author and Damien not only saw a need in the community, but also recognize that younger generations need to come back and work in local governments. He hopes that one day he will run for a higher office.

When not at the Chapter, Harry enjoys being a Pastor at his home church and a dedicated bus driver.
