2011 Hawaii Jaycees Video Production Director
Aloha my name is Shawn Unemori, This year for the first time ever I will be your awesome 2011 Video Production Director. I'm very excited for this year. I came on board when your 68th Hawaii Jaycees President asked me about what I do? My hobby was doing film editing. From trainings to promoting all chapter projects from Hawaii and showing the world in what we do. It sells who the Hawaii Jaycees.
I joined the C.O.O.L. Jaycees in February 2005. C.O.O.L. stands for Community Organization Of Leaders. We are leaders in positive networking, a leadership of understanding, tools in helping yourself to develop, and to break the boundaries and barriers to utilize your passion of interest to succeed. In fact, this is meant for all Jaycees worldwide. I was a Membership Director and won the Rodney Miyamura Award, Why? I believed in what the Jaycees has taught me. I was also Membership Vice President and Chapter President. I received the R. Allen Watkins Award for being Chapter President. That award was for not giving up on my chapter. It takes a lot of struggle to get where you need to be. Through yourself you need something positive that you can believe in to get you to move forward. Every Chapter has a beginning and a ending. From that start what can you do? From that middle, what would it take to get there? From that end, was it all worth it when you didn't gave up and when succeeded in what you have accomplished?! If you can imagine what can be captured on film of how you experience in what you saw, and show that positive value in what we do, would you join the Jaycees in order for you to capture that moment and seek the opportunity to relive it? I would! Would you?
Mahalo, |
