Joe Serna, a member of the Hopi Tribe, ended his two-year term as chairman of the Colorado Women's Chamber of Commerce last week.

Some women had trouble accepting that a man was in charge of the organization. But Serna said his Hopi heritage made him right for the job.

"Women are so far beyond men in their thinking, it would take a millennium for us to catch up," Serna told The Denver Post's Al Lewis.

Serna said he benefited from the experience. "I've learned that details matter," he said. "I send flowers, write notes, and say thank you."
