"It is truly a profound privilege to be recognized as one of the top 10 Youth Exchange chairs out of 130 countries, and I am deeply grateful to the following individuals and groups whose unwavering support has been instrumental in this achievement: host/sponsor families, host/sponsor clubs, districts/chairs, and our multiple district for their selfless financial and physical contributions to this program. I would also like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Lion Wendy Burns for her inspiring encouragement for me to chair this program. Special thanks to our PCC Terri Ann Pease-Huffman for nominating me for this prestigious YCE category."
