Jonath A. Jackson, CPA and Shareholder with DAPCPA Pope & Jackson Inc., has been named as a director for the Boys and Girls Club of Cheyenne.

Jonath, a Wyoming native with strong roots in Cheyenne, has been interested in a volunteer position for the last two years and would like to make a strong impact in the lives of the youth in this community. He is hoping that his financial  expertise can assist in guiding the group throughout his tenure.

The Boys and Girls Club of Cheyenne was founded in 1997 to address a need for mentoring the young people in the community. Since then, the Club has worked with children with diverse economic, social and family backgrounds. The group has more than 500 members.

DAPCPA Pope & Jackson Inc. was founded in 1996 and serves more than 2,000 clients located throughout the United States and several foreign countries.

     On Sunday Evening, I was fortunate to enjoy dinner with Governor Matt and First Lady Carol Mead, as well as a few friends.
     What an interesting evening hearing about and discussing the Governor's vision for the future of Wyoming. Wyoming is a very healthy state economically, with rankings in the top ten (if not at the very top) amongst all states in areas like low taxes, future opportunities, clean air and water, livability, etc. The Governor's stewardship of the state is to be commended. Yet it is in how Governor Mead is leading the state through its challenges that is truly impressive. 
     Governor Mead was kind enough to spend a significant amount of time discussing directly with me the EPA ruling that placed the town of Riverton, Wyoming under the control of the Wind River Reservation. As all of you may be aware, my firm has an office in Riverton and we are very concerned about the long-term effects of this action upon our clients in that region. I am very comfortable with the State's response and the Governor's leadership in the issue. 
     It was also nice to finally spend some time getting to know First Lady Carol Mead. She is a wonderfully gracious person and it was great to discuss her focus on literacy and education here in Wyoming.
