"Joining the Jaycees has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. The friends I've made, the accomplishments I've achieved, and the confidence I've gained has touched all areas of my life personally and professionally. No other organization can provide such a heart-warming personal experience while developing your leadership skills and networking with the community and business leaders." When not working or participating in Jaycee activities, Amy enjoys spending time with her family and nephews.
