The past few weeks have been full of travel, connection, and inspiration!
First stop: the Mid America Institute Meeting, where leaders came together to share ideas, sharpen skills, and strengthen the future of JCI across the region. It was energizing to see so many members focused on growth and impact. Thank you to the Ohio Jaycees for hosting the event!
Then, this past weekend in Virginia Beach, I had the chance to connect with Jaycees while also experiencing the East Coast Surfing Competition presented by the Virginia Beach Jaycees, one of the largest and longest-running surf competitions in the nation! Their leadership in bringing together community, sport, and service is truly something to celebrate. Amazing event and I'm excited to hopefully join them again in 2026!
Grateful for the opportunities JCI provides to learn, lead, and connect with amazing people across the country. I'm looking forward to seeing the new folks I met over my travels in Raleigh NC!
