STEVE AULD, PRESIDENT

I was born in Kingman, AZ, and lived in Mohave County all my life before moving to Williams about five years ago. We have two adopted granddaughters, the oldest of which attends Williams Elementary. I was a police officer for the City of Kingman for 25 years, then an investigator for the County Attorney's Office for several more. We built a new home north of town, and enjoy the area a great deal. I did not have the extra time to be very involved when my children were growing up, and now I do, having retired. I think the WUSD has done a good job of avoiding controversy and non-educational topics. I look forward to helping it stay that way.
