INDIANAPOLIS- National President Jan Tittle announced the 2009-2010 Outstanding and Runner-up Department Presidents of the Year at the National President's Luncheon, which started at 1:00 p.m. at the Indianapolis Convention Center.

The 51 Presidents from every state plus the District of Columbia were judged on program participation, membership statistics and leadership through a point system. 

For the first time ever, the National President's Luncheon was opened to ticket purchase, and the event had nearly 600 attendees.

In each of the 11 Membership Groups, one President was named Outstanding and one named Runner-up.  "Historically, this is a difficult decision," National President Jan Tittle said of the judging, which took place in July in Kansas City, where National Headquarters is located.  "Everyone works hard in this position.  I am so proud of my team."

Guest included the National Line Officers, the Past National Presidents and other special guests.  Music was provided by the National Musicians and by the National Soloist.
