Jim Langdal

I was born and raised in Michigan, where I married Penny and where our 2 children, Julia and Andrew, were born. We moved to Arizona in 1994, bought a house just a few blocks from Chaparral, and started attending shortly thereafter. I retired in 2016 after 40 years in the industrial computer industry working various jobs including software engineering, marketing, sales and tech support. I have a Danish heritage and was raised in the Lutheran church but after being part of a Christian community in Detroit during the 70’s Jesus movement I came to understand that being a Christian is all about having a personal relationship with Jesus. I have been active at Chaparral in the Men’s Ministry, small groups, Sunday School, mission trips, choir, sound booth and working on numerous construction projects around campus as an avid do-it-yourselfer and I am now humbled and blessed to serve as an elder.

Dr. Marty Rozelle

I have been a part of Chaparral since 2008. I love to ride horses, travel, volunteer, and spend time with my two dogs. Professionally, I develop and facilitate strategies to integrate public values into technical decisions by thoughtfully engaging stakeholders in complex projects that affect their jurisdictions and their lives. Examples include the siting of municipal landfills, dams and reservoirs, high and low-level nuclear waste repositories, highways, high voltage transmis­sion lines, power plants, and other energy-related projects. In Arizona, I do a lot of work with water resources including consensus on the best way to manage the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon or gaining agreement from 80 stakeholder entities on how to share and pay for the additional water needed by the State of Arizona to support the next 4 million people. I’m also a founder and past President of the International Association for Public Participation.
