Jack Fortner
Guest Speaker

At the 11/05 meeting we were honored to have as our speaker D.A. Jack Fortner, pictured here with his wife, Terri. She is a member of the San Juan County Commission.
 
Jack spoke about his educational background and the various law practices with which he was associated. Interest in community service ultimately led him to becoming D.A. of the county. This position , assisted by 20 lawyers and 40 staff members, coordinates and assists all law enforcement agencies within the county. Prosecution of alleged criminals is a prime duty. Recently the Attorney General of New Mexico requested he help manage the McKinley County DA office, which had become dysfunctional.
 
Terri, and other county commissioners, are dealing with items related to the current flood emergency affecting the county.
