Chief Commander Creighton C. Maynard

Chief Commander Creighton C. Maynard, Jr., SN, of Fort Worth, Texas, joined the Fort Worth Power Squadron in 1969.

Creighton attended high school in Beaumont, Texas. He is a member of the class of 1955, Texas A&M University, where he received a B.B.A. degree before entering the military. He completed law school in 1961, receiving LL.B. and J.D. degrees from Baylor Law School. He has practiced law (continues to attempt to get it right) since 1963 in Fort Worth, Texas.

He has served in most squadron positions and was elected Squadron Commander in 1991. He is active in his squadron's and district's Cooperative Charting efforts, has taught, served on numerous squadron and district committees, and was District 21 Law Officer for several years.

He was elected District 21 Commander in 1996 after having served the District as its’ Executive and Administrative Officers.

At the National level, he is presently serving his second year as the Chief Commander, after having served 2 years as the National Executive Officer and 2 years as the National Administrative Officer.

He has been an aide to Chief Commanders Farr, Jensen, and Smith and has 25 merit marks and is a Life Member.

Creighton has been active in several volunteer organizations, but with his present involvement in USPS, not anymore. He has skippered a boat of some kind since 1951, both sail and power. He presently has a 29' Sea Ray.

He is married to Glenda Woods Maynard. Glenda attended the University of Texas, Austin, receiving a B.S. degree and is a former Elementary Teacher. She is active on the National Ship's Store and Social Activities Committees.

She does volunteer work with the American Heart Association, the March of Dimes Mother's March, the St Jude Children's Research Hospital and the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. She enjoys reading, gardening, Crossword and Sudoku puzzles.
