John Berry, president elect of SSVP in the United States
After 25 years of professional career in companies, and in the United States federal government, working in the fields of nuclear energy and environmental engineering, our brother assumed the general direction of SSVP in Georgia in 2006. He is now the newly elected National President of the SSVP in the United States and will take office on September 9, 2023.
Always worried with poverty and the most vulnerable families need, John Berry will put all your engagement and skills to perform his service as National President of a country which the SSVP counts with 100 000 brothers/sisters, distributed in more than 4 400 Conferences.
During the electoral process, the finalista applications were the John Berry’s and the Brian Burgess‘. In the words of President General, brother Renato Lima de Oliveira, “Both North American applicants, John and Brian, are very good brothers, engaged and committed, with the right qualities to be an excellent president of the National Council of the United States. For this reason, the Council General was very glad already. Now that we know who won the election, we receive John with arms wide open, we’re already sure the he will keep the good working that our brother Ralph Middlecamp began 6 six years ago“.
The President General deepened into the figure of the ideal president and into the good work from the United-States‘ SSVP, adding that “our beloved brother Ralph has served with a high professional level, but, above all, with much charity. The USA are an example for our Confederation, and we’re sure that with John we’ll have the same availability and proximity.
