Houston — this is the event where past, present, and future leaders come together.
We’re honoring outstanding students, reuniting generations of Jaycees, and inaugurating the new Houston International Jaycees Board of Directors — all in one unforgettable afternoon.
It’s inspiring.
It’s energetic.
It’s community at its best.
And yes, kids are absolutely welcome.
🎓 The Heart of the Day: Service to Humanity Scholars
This luncheon exists to uplift young people who embody the true meaning of Service to Humanity — students who lead with compassion, serve their communities, and inspire others through action.
Your attendance directly supports the Foundation’s mission to empower youth and strengthen Houston’s future.
🤝 Jaycees Reunion — 40 Years of Impact
Reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate four decades of leadership, friendship, and community service.
This is a reunion for every Jaycee who has ever been part of the journey.
🏛️ Inauguration of the New Houston International Jaycees Board
Witness the swearing‑in ceremony for the incoming Board of Directors — the leaders who will guide the chapter into its next era of service and impact.
🎤 Keynote Speaker: Suzan Nguyen — A Story of Resilience & Hope
Suzan Nguyen is an internationally recognized resilience advocate, two‑time TEDx speaker, and spoken word artist whose journey has moved audiences around the world.
At 22, Suzan lost her right arm in a tragic car accident — a moment that could have ended her story. Instead, it became the beginning of a powerful mission. Through authenticity, humor, and heartfelt storytelling, she inspires others to rise above adversity, reclaim their voice, and rediscover their strength.
Featured by NBC and named by Yahoo as one of the most influential people, Suzan reminds us that our scars do not define us — our resilience does.
