Convention

Wow, wow, wow!

I am so excited, so proud, so inspired. The North Dakota Jaycees had an amazing convention weekend as we said good-bye to 2008 and rang in 2009.

First, I want to say a huge thank you to the 2008 team for all of your support and guidance. President Pat Groce was a terrific leader, and we are all very happy to have worked with you and for you over the past year.

Second, I can't even put into words how lucky I feel to have the people on my 2009 Executive Committee on my team. The North Dakota Jaycees have a great group of dedicated members leading them this year - 2009 is going to rock beyond belief!

The team includes:

Management Vice President Connie Perkins of Bismarck
Administrative Vice President Jim Mueller of Bismarck
Membership Vice President Sandra Anderson of Mohall
Community Vice President Pamela Johnson of Fargo
Individual Development Vice President Brenda Jo Gillund of Grand Forks
Executive Secretary Charity Stegman of Cavalier
Treasurer Lisa Weber of Mandan
East Region Director Abby Hanson of Fargo
West Region Director Justin Parkinson of Williston
Northwest District Director Cassie Nettleton of Des Lacs-Burlington
Southwest District Director Leif Olson of Bismarck
Northeast District Director Jessica Wald of Grand Forks
(The Southeast District Director position is open!!!)

Thank you North Dakota Jaycees for an amazing and memorable weekend. We have an awe-inspiring challenge ahead of us. I'm ready to take it on. The exec team is ready to take it on. Are you?
