“I am very passionate for all things Jaycees. We have an extraordinary group of gentlemen from all walks of life who volunteer their time, money, equipment and resources to better the organization and the community.”
-Ross Merideth
Born and raised in Sikeston, some might say Ross Merideth was destined to be a Sikeston Jaycee. His father, grandfather, uncle and brothers have all been active members at one time or another. As an avid Rodeo fan, Merideth’s favorite event has always been bull fights – man versus beast.
Merideth credits some of his professional development to his time with the Jaycees. He’s learned how to clean A/C units, properly build fencing and manage food preparation and distribution. Additionally, he’s networked with individuals in nearly every industry. As a member of the Jaycees, he’s also had the opportunity to improve his leadership skills, learning how to meet the needs of different personalities to ensure the organization runs effectively.
