Topeka Optimist named to board

September 29, 2009 - 1:01pm

ST. LOUIS, Mo. - David Bruns, a District Court Judge for Kansas and founder of the Topeka-Shawnee County Youth Court, has been elected to the Board of Directors of Optimist International.

His three-year term begins Thursday.

For more than 25 years, Bruns has been involved with Optimist International, an organization that aims to "bring out the best in kids" by conducting positive service projects that reach more than six million young people each year. He was elected to the organization's board of directors by delegates at the 2009 Optimist International Convention in Kissimmee, Fla.

In addition to many years of service to children in Topeka, Bruns has been active at all levels of the international organization since first joining the White Lakes Optimist Club of Topeka in 1983. Bruns was the White Lakes Club's secretary/treasurer in 1987-1988 and followed that with a year as president in 1988-1989.

While Bruns was president, his club was recognized at the international level for its accomplishments. Bruns moved up to the district level in 1991-1992 as a lieutenant governor and was governor in 1997-1998, when the Kansas District received the highest honors possible for its progress.

For the international organization, Bruns served as an international vice president in 2004-2005. From 2006 to 2008, he served as chairman of the committee that oversees Junior Optimist Octagon International (JOOI), the organization's youth component.

He also just completed a year as chairman of a committee that focuses on membership growth and retention. Bruns has served on international committees for governance and activities as well as a convention committee when the organization's convention took place in Kansas City in 2003. He continues to lead volunteers in workshops at the convention each year as well.
