MARK LIGHTERMAN, ANA VICE PRESIDENT

Mark Lighterman, long-time ANA Board member, devoted hobbyist and collector and recipient of multiple numismatic awards, has been elected to the office of Vice President of the American Numismatic Association.

Mr. Lighterman is focusing on education and service for his tenure in office. He is an expert at service in the hobby, fulfilling multiple roles for different organizations simultaneously.

About the election and his upcoming tasks Mr. Lighterman said, Throughout the years I have participated in small to medium size organizations serving the membership. To be elected to the position of VP of the largest numismatic organization is an honor and, though it will be a lot more work on my part, I will continue to serve all those clubs I was involved prior to being elected as well as fulfilling my duties to the membership of the ANA.

Mark is the recipient of multiple ANA awards including the Lifetime Achievement Award, amongst many others. His other accolades include awards of merit from TAMS and additional specialty clubs of which he is a member and, in the case of TAMS, for which he has served as an officer.

James Motley, current President of error and variety club CONECA (for which Lighterman currently sits as a board member and serves as its Vice President) said about the election, We at CONECA are so proud that Mark Lighterman is continuing his commitment to the ANA and taking on the VP Position. As president of CONECA, I work with Mark on almost a daily basis as our VP. He is very detailed and always gives 100%. I congratulate the ANA on this addition.

CONECA has a booming membership base. Its name stands for Combined Organizations of Numismatic Error Collectors of America, and it is the largest coin specialty club in the United States. It has actively been educating collectors about mint error and variety coins for the last five decades. Mark Lighterman is a long-time member and has been an actively engaged official for the club. He is a Hall of Fame recipient from CONECA, an immense honor.
