Athens Jaycees

Our latest speaker was our very own David Wildes! David joined the Jaycees in November 2024 and currently serves as the Services Chair on the Jaycees Board of Directors. He joined the Jaycees precisely because it was an organization dedicated to personal and professional development through service to the community. He also serves on the Board of the Friends of the Library organization affiliated with the Athens Clarke County Public Library as the co-chair for the biannual Book Sale fundraising events. In his day job, David is the Senior Program Coordinator for International Business at the UGA Terry College of Business where he manages the IB co-major academic program and international internships. By night, he is a graduate student in the UGA Master of Public Administration Program. David has done an incredible job as our Services Chair and we look forward to a great year of service projects!

This week we had Jon Segars as our guest speaker. Jon is the Director of the UGA Student Veterans Resource Center and presented some very interesting information regarding the relationship the university has with its veteran student population.

Had an amazing time at the Athens Jaycees’ Annual “January Jog” on Saturday, January 4th, at The Yard at Wire Park in Watkinsville! 🏃‍♂️❄️ Despite the chilly temps, we had such a great turnout and a successful event! Huge thanks to all of our sponsors and the awesome volunteers who made this possible. 🙌 Your support means the world to us! And of course, a big shoutout to the wonderful people of Athens who make this community so special! 💙 ***pictures from 2024***
