State Council President is Ken Braker, elected in July of 2008.
Ken spent 20 years in the Air Force and retired a Master
Sargeant. He then spent 20 years in the Las Vegas, Nevada Fire

Ken Braker was born and raised in Orange, California. He has an

Ken has been a member of and active in 27 different organizations or

He is appreciated a lot by the Nevada AVVA Associtation. He is
very supportive of them, as was his predecessor, and it is their honor
to help to serve the Nevada VVA.
