A Clan Graham chieftainship is granted by the Chief of The Grahams, the Duke of Montrose, at his discretion. If
the Clan Graham Society wishes to suggest a candidate for the Chief’s consideration, the candidate shall be
nominated by the Council of the Society and the nomination shall be sustained by a two-thirds vote of the
membership at an Annual General Meeting.
Our current North American Chieftain is Richard Graham who was first appointed by James Angus Graham, His Grace, the 7th Duke of Montrose (1907-1992), in 1989, and then re-appointed by James Graham, His Grace, the 8th Duke of Montrose. Richard succeeds the late Harry L. Graham, who was the Society's first chieftain and president in North America. |
