I want to thank you for being a part of this great organization.
You truly are a member of the Greatest Young Persons Leadership Training Organization in the world.
I am honored to be serving as your 72nd State President and it truly and honor to represent each of you. Our theme for the 2009 year is “Going the Distance,” when choosing this theme I thought about many things and people who have gone the distance and been a success. Like the Tennessee Jaycees.
I recently heard a speech about the power of a bloodline. It talked about how a winning racehorse does not just randomly happen, winning is in its bloodline. Generation upon Generation continually produce a bloodline of winners.
Our organization has a bloodline that truly is amazing. We have produced many great leaders from within our organization. From National Presidents to U.S. Senators, the Tennessee Jaycees have a legacy of winners and champions.
Our bloodline continues on with each of you.
In 2009 we as an organization will put a renewed emphasis on helping you and our chapters develop and produce leaders for the future of the Tennessee Jaycees and our world.
By focusing on the positive and eliminating the negatives, we will overcome any challenge set before us in 2009. It is in your bloodline to be in the winner’s circle. It is in your bloodline to Go the Distance.
I am ready to start “Going the Distance” in 2009!!
Susan M. Sumner 72nd State President Tennessee Jaycees
