 President - Alisha Milander
My name is Alisha Milander, your 78th Fargo Jaycees President. I've been a member of the Fargo Jaycees since December 2008 and have been very active since joining this great organization. I currently work for SEI as a Business Development Manager (BDM) for the SI Recruit Team, and previously worked at Edward Jones as a Branch Office Administrator. I graduated from Concordia College in Moorhead, MN and experienced my first taste of what it feels like to give back to the community one lives in through their community service initiative programs. Through the Jaycees, I've enjoyed the opportunity to continue serving the community though the various projects we run such as Community Halloween; Punt, Pass & Kick; Pitch, Hit & Run; and many others. I've also been able to develop my skills through managing various projects and participating in Individual Development trainings and competitions. There are so many amazing opportunities available through the Jaycees and I encourage each and every one of our members to take full advantage of everything the Jaycees has to offer. Here's to a great year!
 Chairperson of the Board - Pamela Johnson
I was the 2009 Fargo Jaycees President. My wonderful year is over and I have moved on to be the Chairman of the Board. In addition to being active in our local chapter as COB, I am the state’s Individual Development Vice President for the North Dakota Jaycees. I am responsible for arranging trainings at our state conventions and monthly webinars. I oversee Family Life and the children’s convention, Spiritual Life, JC Tube, First Timers, and Competitions.
I joined the Jaycees in 2005 as a result of corporate recruiting. Since then I have held the position of Secretary/Treasurer, Family Talk program manager, state Community VP, and President of the Fargo Jaycees.
I am from Williston, ND and moved to Fargo in 2007 to return to school as a student at NDSU. I will graduate with a degree in Social Science Education and a minor in German. I will be doing my student teaching in Geography and History this fall in Bismarck.
I have three main goals. They are to encourage members to attend conventions, provide a variety of trainings at convention, and assist the local Individual Development VP to bring a variety of individual development projects to their chapter.
I encourage you to become active in the Jaycees and attend conventions. It will change you and your life. Guaranteed.
 Administrative VP - Tina Baker
My name is Tina Baker and have been a member of the Fargo Jaycees for less than a year. I am proud to be an active member and take the position of Administrative Vice-President. I love the mission of the Jaycees and am excited to help to make it happen. Being there to watch the local children in both the pitch, hit and run as well as the punt, pass and kick, brought home for me what we are here to do; bringing the community together. I hope to learn a lot through out the year, developing skills that will benefit me through out my life. As an Interior Design student in my junior year at NDSU, I can bring many of my skills to the table, including planning, organization and time management to make our events, projects and goals more successful. Looking forward to a fresh start in the new year, thank you for this chance.
 Management VP - Tyler Ebnet
I have been a Fargo Jaycee for a little over a year now. During that year I have found a great way to interact with the community, stretch myself, and have found several great people who I now call friends. These three things have really encouraged me to be more active and take up a leadership role in the organization. I currently work at Marco as a technology advisor. In my career, I am at local organization analyzing their technology costs and making recommendations to both save time and money. Throughout this processes a great deal of people in the community recognize me from the Jaycees or have been impacted by the Jaycees in some way. Its great to be part of an organization that touches so many people in our community.
There are several objectives that I would like to take on this year as a board member of the Jaycees. The first is to help integrate some of the other organizations that I am involved with. I am a YPN member, North Dakota Quarter Horse Association member, and I am on the Alumni Foundation Committee for MSUM. It would be great if the Jaycees and other groups like these could work together and combine resources. Second, I would like to help build more professional activities into our Jaycees culture. If people would like to be involved with that, it would be great to get some feedback of what we would like. Third and finally, I would like increase membership of the Fargo Jaycees, and work to maintain our current members.
I hope to hear all of your goals as well. I am more than willing to sit down with anyone who would like to discuss your personal goals, and if I can help out in any way I will. Have a great year!

Now that I am an alumnae of the sorortiy, I wanted to stay active in the community through the Jaycees.

 Board of Directors - Zach Harrington
My name is Zach Harrington. I am 24 years old and recently graduated from NDSU. I am a second generation Jaycee, but this is only my second year as a member of the Fargo Jaycees. From my experience in the Jaycees, the most important thing I have learned is the very last line of the Jaycee Creed. “Service to humanity is the best work of life.” That line has meaning on many levels. I believe we are changing things every day we provide service to others in our community. And the Fargo chapter has great potential to provide leadership and improvement for the entire community of Fargo/Moorhead. As I move forward in life, I move with that quote from the Creed in my mind. I hope everyone will do the same, to reach our potential as a chapter and community.
