I want to thank all the Indiana Senators that have stepped up to serve as officers for the 2010-2011 Indiana JCI Senate year.  We are going to have a wonderful year.

I have several goals for my year as President.  First, we need to get with the Senators that have not been around for awhile and get them "Re-Involved."  Next, we need to work with the Jaycees - individuals, local chapters and the State organization with training being just one of the issues.  We are planning joint meetings at each State Event so that we can better establish the communication lines.  Please let us know if you as a Senator would like to get involved and help out in anyway.  Also, we need to have fundraisers to help our state senate organization.  Michigan has a golf outing, Ohio has Pig Roast, Kentucky has Bourbon Bash, Illinois has Race Party, these states are known for their events and we need to create such an event for Indiana that brings those senators (in/out) of state to join us.  If you have any thoughts on such an event please come and share with us.

At this time Indiana has 305 paid members.  We have a lot of Indiana senators out there yet to join us.  As the INJCI Senate, we need to contact and invite them to come see what a fun group of people we can be and with their help what differences we can make. 

I know I have some "Big Shoes" to fill and I will do my best to make Indiana proud, however, we can only have a successful year and "Bridge the Gap" if we all work together to make it happen.

I sincerely hope to see all of you soon!
