INDIANA JCI SENATE

​2024-2025

"I Love this American Ride"

​

  

​

Welcome to The INDIANA JCI SENATE page! I am the 2024/2025 President Shelley Bates.

  
My theme this year is I LOVE this American Ride!  I chose a Toby Keith theme for several reasons.  I love his music, & I love this song. I appreciate the work he did with our US troops overseas. I love the JCI organization and what it did for me as a young professional. 

 
Most of all I love that I was not forgotten about when my chapter folded and recognized as Senator #78813. My logo shows a heart in the Southwest tip of Indiana where I joined the Mt. Vernon Jaycees. The bull rider is for my absolute love of RODEO and bull riding. That is the greatest American Ride I have ever been on! 

I have two goals for this year. They are to find, recognize & activate others like me who are deserving of the Senate title, and rekindle relationships of Senators that have been missed at Senate events. I hope you will join me on this American Ride.
