Getting to Know 2024-2025
Imperial Potentate Richard Burke
Richard G. Burke of Yaarab Shriners was elected Imperial Potentate at the 2024 Imperial Session in Reno, Nevada.
A life-changing event set Richard on his journey to becoming a Shriner. His unwavering passion came from tragedy. Richard and his wife, Judy, have dedicated their lives to raising awareness of Shriners International and Shriners Children’s since their granddaughter, Leah, received care for burn injuries at the Shriners Children’s location in Ohio in 2002.
Today, he is proud to be a Shriner and this year is honored and humbled to be Imperial Potentate.
Inspired by personal firsthand experience with the exceptional care provided by Shriners Children’s, First Lady Judy Burke has chosen to support burn care and all the wraparound services that are needed to provide healing for children and their families who have experienced devastating burn injuries. The theme “On Angels’ Wings,” reflects how it often feels that our patients and families stand on the wings of angels. These wings are often borne by our healthcare team and the amazing network of nobles and ladies.
At the 150th Imperial Session of Shriners International, held in Reno, Nevada, June 30 – July 4, nobles from around the world gathered with their ladies and families to let the good times roll and usher in new leaders for Shriners International and its philanthropy, Shriners Children’s.
The annual report is a substantial and comprehensive review of the events of the concluding Imperial year. The book creatively highlights the important activities and successes for both the fraternity and philanthropy, and includes messages from leadership.
