Livonia Jaycees
Stay in the Loop!
It's not what we ARE...it's what we DO.
The LIV, as we like to call ourselves, are a group of young professionals, 21 to 39 years of age. As a state, national, and international organization, we offer personal and professional development opportunities, social and business networking, and the forum and support to create positive change and impact within our community. In short, we build leaders!
April 2015 Recap
April's Presidential Thirsty Thursday!
The LIV welcomed members and guests at One Under - with the first round and apps on the chapter, why not!?!
April's General Membership Meeting
April's GMM was all about membership! Steve Pickelmann, Michigan Jaycees' Membership Director, joined us to discuss recruitment because...
more passionate young professionals = more LIV impact
We had a fantastic turn out with Jaycees members from the state board (Steve Pickelmann and Angela Clock), as well as from Detroit, Kentwood, South Lyon, Redford, and Westland chapters! Needless to say, our table at Ashley's for the after-social was TIGHT! We even officially swore in three members (Beth, Jason, and Alex). #family
