Mike Vaughn spends most of his time at BDI Signs in Grimes, Iowa, where he is the Co-Owner and CEO of a vibrant family owned and operated business. However, Mike has other passions as well, one of which is the Iowa American Legion Boys State program. While not a member of the American Legion, Mike did have the honor of representing his community at the 1997 Boys State event. It evidently made a positive impression, because for many years he has given of his time and expertise as a volunteer "General Counselor" at the annual event.
We had the pleasure of hearing from Mike about the Boys State program in Iowa. We learned about a storied past, a challenging present (lower attendee numbers in the wake of the pandemic) and a vision for a very bright future. Learn more about this longstanding leadership initiative by visiting their website at THIS LINK.
Thank you to Rotarian Jason Kerndt of South Story Bank & Trust for inviting Mike to present.
