Valerie Pell - Immediate Past State President
My motto last year was #WhyNot. I love to travel and learn new things. I have been a Jaycee since 2009 and love all the experiences and opportunities I have gained through JCI.
I like the example that Jaycees set for my kids and I hope one day they can be involved in an amazing organization that inspires them to say #WhyNot.
Valerie is JCI Iowa Governor #486.
