NVP Greeting

OUR MISSION IS TO FOSTER FRIENDSHIPS AMONG SENATORS WHILE SUPPORTING THE JAYCEE MOVEMENT.

Hello Region V,

Welcome to the 2025-2026 JCI Senate year!  My name is Monty Schroeder, better known as ‘Chef Monte’ and I am proud to be service as your Region V NVP.  the theme for the year is “Serving Up Five Star States.”  As we all know, Region V is best known for their hospitality within the US JCI Senate and the friendship between the five states is one of the things I love the most about Region V.  As a Chef of my own catering business, my theme is so fitting because the five states hold a five-star rating just like a Five Star restaurant where friends come together just as we do with our Senate family.  I want to encourage each of you to travel to other states/regions events and meet other Senators across this great country of ours.

I hope you will take the time to look around our website as we try to keep everyone informed about all the fun events within Region V.  The Region V Summer Tour is always our kick-off to the New Year, but we have much more going on.  From our state meetings to our social events, Region V is always active.  You can always find out when and where our events and meetings take place by going to our calendar section.  You can also find all the registration forms under our registration page.  Make sure you are taking the opportunity to get out and meet our fellow Senators.

Remember to keep in mind our mission statement: to foster friendships among Senators while supportng the Jaycee movement.  This year US JCI Senate President Bruce Sostak #52655 is encouraging everyone to support our Jaycees through the Return the Favor program.  This is a great program that allows the Senate to give back by assisting and mentoring our Jaycees.  It is also an opportunity to give back to the organization that meant so much to us in earlier days and to have an impact on the development of future leaders of the Senate.

I look forward to serving as your NVP this year and hope that you will join me “Serving Up Five Star States” in Region V!
