"Jeff took over the chairman position after a highly successful predecessor stepped down. He embraced his new role wholeheartedly. This event typically draws over 500 attendees, sometimes even reaching 800, making it one of the largest in Missouri each year. Despite a dwindling committee and aging volunteers, Jeff managed to bring back all the table buyers from previous years and even attracted new ones. He also recruited new helpers for the night of the banquet, which was a tremendous help. Jeff's dedication to the program is evident, and we are very grateful for his service.
In addition to his chairman duties, Jeff supports about five other events throughout the year, often bringing additional people and spending on raffles and auction items. He also attends the Missouri grant workshop annually, contributing significantly to the discussions. Furthermore, Jeff actively promotes the FNRA program within his community and surrounding areas."
