Board of Directors

"I have been a Board member since 2001. When Jerry Daniels introduced me to Youth In Need, I was so very impressed with what this organization did for the youth of our community. I was privileged to take a tour of multiple facilities and meet some of the fine young people Youth In Need was helping. I then met Jim Braun, Youth In Need's CEO, and was equally impressed with his leadership, professionalism and genuine concern for the youth his organization serves. Lastly, over time, I have had the pleasure to meet much of the staff who does the leg work, day in and day out, to support clients. They are dedicated and highly skilled. 

While there are so many deserving organizations to support in the St. Charles and St. Louis region, there is none better than Youth In Need. I am honored to be on its Board and privileged to have the opportunity to work with people who are truly making a difference in young people's lives."
