Comment of the Week

"Not only was Mary (Schott Speaker) Greensboro's first female Jaycee President, but she was also the first female president of the North Carolina Jaycees.

During her tenure with the NC Jaycees, she ousted the "institute system" that dictated how the state was going to vote in national Jaycee elections. With NC Jaycees rejection of the 'institute system,' our members’ voices were once again heard, and we voted by majority rule. "
