Canadian County Sheriff Chris West was sworn in as the 85th president of the National Sheriffs Association last week. The ceremony took place at the NSA Annual Conference in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

“I’m extremely humbled with the high honor of serving the NSA and its members in this position, and I wouldn’t be able to do so if it wasn’t for the support of my wife, Kelly, the awesome staff at the sheriff’s office and the support of the Oklahoma Sheriffs Association,” said West.

Suzie Campbell, publisher of the Countywide & Sun in Tecumseh, officially assumed the role of president of the Oklahoma Press Association (OPA) on July 1.

She succeeds Shauna Belyeu and will serve a one-year term as president.

Before her newspaper career, Campbell held various positions including nearly 10 years at Tinker Air Force Base.
