Presidential Appointment

Posted on Jun 16th, 2006 by Kelly : Entrepreneur, Leader, VC, Author Kelly

Pretty exciting...

President Bush appointed me to The President's Council on Service and Civic Participation.

There are some very impressive members (the other people!) on the Council and here is the mission:

 "In January of 2003, by Executive Order, President George W. Bush announced the formation of the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation. The Council was established to recognize the important contributions Americans of all ages are making within their communities through service and civic engagement. "

I'm excited about the Council and looking forward to working with them over the next two years.

Take Command!

Kelly

Kelly…once again, I am impressed by the clear consistency with which you recognize the responsibilities larger than ourselves.  I am sure this will be a great appointment.  Congratulations, bud.

Someone once wrote this of the importance of selfless service: “Your example of giving will inspire those around you, and we'll all be better off.”  You do inspire, my friend.  Thanks.

Wait a minute…YOU wrote that! (Quote taken from Kelly's book Take Command.)

Hi Kelly

Season 2 of the Apprentice finished on Thursday here in South African. I would just like to say even though you have probably heard all this already. What a great inspiration you were to so many people. As Amy said you knew when to talk and you knew when to listen. I admired how you went about each task and at the end in the boardroom you never stooped to bad mouthing jennifer at any point. Thank you for showing people how to win with dignity.

Thanks for the kudos!  The show was a blast and I really learned a lot working with the Trump Organization for 2005.  Lots of great stuff going on now.

Congratulations Kelly! It is great knowing that you are a member of a council with such an important role. Remember, this is one community you can count on if you need any help.

A Presidential Appointee is a Zaadz member and a friend. How great is that?
