Meet Brandon Suguira, Director_________________t is hard to believe that my first year as a member has passed. As amember, I have taken on projects like the Adopt-a-School and some of myown like my ten-year high school reunion. Although 2010 has gone quickly,t has been a tremendous year for me to commemorate.

My name is Brandon Sugiura and I am one of the six directors that isserving this year under the direction of Mr. Anthony Sato. As a Job Corpsgraduate, I can proudly vouch that I have taken on several leadership

positions. Being part of this year's board would help me utilize myeadership skills that I gained. In addition, I will understand the proceduresand the principles better so I can be an effective leader.

As for my hobbies, I enjoy reading, collecting reference materials and reading up on chemistry and astrolmainly Chinese and the one we commonly use). I also like to go 'out & about' with friends. I also like

attending networking events as well as attending debates held by local colleges. I am going to be judge oattendant in an upcoming debating tournament soon.

am currently an active employee with a temp agency and right now I am on call. Like the Jaycees, whenam needed, I am there. I don't use the Jaycees as a 'time killer' for me but rather as training for the real

world and the business world.

As my second year comes upon me, I hope that I become more improved and more disciplined in what I ddo hope this helps you understand me as a person and I hope that my duties as a director will be fulfilled

by the end of 2011. Overall, I do want to personally thank all of my chapter and Jaycees colleagues for thelp and inspiration and hope that I can use this knowledge to my advantage on the BOD. I do encourageof my colleagues to have a great and prosperous year and let us all help our new president empowerdreams throughout the year.____________________________________________________________________________________
