Drake Quals - Service Appreciation

On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, we extend our deepest gratitude to Drake Qualls as he concludes an extraordinary chapter of leadership with FPA Arizona.

Drake was elected to the Board in 2022 and immediately stepped into the role of Treasurer, setting the tone for what would become four years of dedicated service. From there, he guided the chapter through the full leadership continuum—serving as President-Elect in 2023, President in 2024, and most recently as Chairman in 2025.

It’s one thing to volunteer; it’s another to fully commit. Throughout his tenure, Drake has been a constant source of wisdom for this Board. Even while managing a demanding professional career, he consistently showed up with an honest, direct, and respectful approach that made every meeting more productive and every decision more thoughtful.

We are deeply appreciative of the work Drake has done to ensure FPA Arizona continues to thrive well beyond his term. He was instrumental in welcoming new voices, fostering a strong culture of service, and positioning the chapter’s future in capable hands.

From his early stewardship of our finances to his strategic leadership as President and Chairman, Drake has left a lasting mark on our organization and our community.

Drake, thank you for your leadership, your friendship, and your unwavering commitment to our profession.
