Which National President served as the 7th president from 1978 to 1982?

• A. Julia Brogdon Purnell (1978-1982)
• B. Patricia Russell-McCloud (1994-1998)
• C. Marian Schultz Sutherland (1990-1994)
• D. Barbara Dixon Simpkins (1998-2002)

Answer: (A)

Understanding how the National Presidents are ordered by their years of service helps you place who led during a specific time window. The 7th National President served a four-year term from 1978 to 1982. That window matches Julia Brogdon Purnell, who led from 1978 through 1982. The other names led in later four-year blocks (1990–1994, 1994–1998, 1998–2002), so they don’t fit the 1978–1982 interval.
