It is an honor for me to have this opportunity to announce my candidacy to become the 90th President of The United States Junior Chamber. I enjoy being a Jaycee as you can tell from the passion displayed in the pictures and content of this site. I attribute much of my success in both my personal life and career from the experiences, training and networks obtained through involvement as a Jaycee.

Since I joined, I have been told of the need for strong leaders to help guide us toward the dominant organization we used to be. I believe I am that person and am willing to do whatever it takes to ensure our membership receives the values expected.

Some have said that our organization may not be able to withstand the decline in recent year but I staunchly disagree. The economy is having some of the most difficult times since the great depression but confidence allows us to believe the right leaders will get it back on track in the next year or so. Well, I feel the same about The United States Junior Chamber. The right leaders are the focus of our organization and it is up to us to make it happen.

With your vote as President, I will guide our leaders to achieve every intention promised. We will be stronger financially and in value because we will have listened to the great experiences of our predecessors, we will have learned from the impact of those experiences and together we will lead the changes needed to overcome any obstacles.

Our organization had less than 30,000 members in the 1930's and was able to grow by tens and twenty thousands immediately following. It's our turn to demonstrate our ability to put into action the tools and concepts that have built our foundation for almost 90 years. I ask for your support in September, at the Annual Meeting, and look forward to continuing to serve the greatest organization in the world.
