Leadership

​

Calling

By the time Chase was 14, he had become recognized across the state as an up-and-coming leader, so much so that the Arizona DeMolay Foundation paid for Chase to attend a week-long leadership conference in Northern California to hone his leadership skills.

​

Chase called the conference a "turning point in his leadership abilities by giving him a desire to lead." Chase was elected as "President" of his camp group and was awarded overall "Outstanding Leader" awards!

#88

In July 2016, Chase was elected and inaugurated as the 88th State President for all of DeMolay in Arizona. Oddly enough, Chase became the State President exactly 30 years after his father served in the same position.

​

In his opening address to the members in Arizona, Chase promised a "new and innovative DeMolay, focused on helping to give back to the community as much as building leadership within it."

The Arizona DeMolay Foundation awarded Chase $13,000 to improve the DeMolay experience in Arizona.

International

​

President

Chase became recognized for his hard work and dedication across the country, with many encouraging him to run for the position of International President. With the help of the Arizona DeMolay Foundation, Chase flew to Buffalo, NY for the International DeMolay Conference where he ran and was elected as the 51st International President of DeMolay International.

​
As the International President of DeMolay International, Chase spent the next year traveling the world on behalf of DeMolay to speak to members and open DeMolay in new countries. Chase spent time in Brazil, Paraguay, and more than half of the states during his term, traveling more than 80,000 miles through the air and numerous more on the ground.
​
Chase is only the second-ever to be elected as the International President from Arizona since the position's inception more than a half-century ago.
