Meet our current SLT members:

Kenzie

Hey! I am Kenzie Ebbing from Greensburg. I have been with SADD since 6th grade in our “SADD Jr. Chapter.” I have always loved what SADD stands for and how we create such fun and informational activities for our community.

I also enjoy sports photography (Go Pirates!), working at a flower farm, going to the gym, or coming up with an agenda for our next SADD meeting!! I’ll leave you with this Robert Browning quote, “My sun sets to rise again.”

Kaylee

Hi! I am Kaylee Smith, a recent graduate of North Decatur High School. I have been with SADD since my first year. Joining my school’s chapter made me smile, knowing that I could help kids in my school do better.

I was also on my school’s varsity cheer team, involved in horse showing, National Honors Society, and 4-H, and a volunteer firefighter at Burney Clay Township Volunteer Fire Department. I plan to major in cybersecurity at Ivy Tech Cybersecurity Academy.

Michael

Hello! My name is Michael Jarrell from Russiaville, Indiana. I’ve been involved with SADD since my Sophomore year because I really think it’s important to teach and help people.

In addition to being a member of the SADD State Leadership Team and Western SADD, I enjoy video games, going to the gym, and Lord of the Rings.

Alaina

Hi, I’m Alaina Hostetler. I am a GCHS sophmore involved in SADD since my sixth-grade year. I saw how passionate my sister was when she was in SADD, and that passion continued with me.

Jim Noffsinger Legacy Award

After attending the 2000 SADD National Conference, Jim Noffsinger, a local SADD chapter advisor, returned to Indiana and began developing Indiana SADD. By 2001, Indiana SADD was awarded a grant from the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute’s Council on Impaired and Dangerous Driving.

Jim had recently retired and resided in the Gulf Shores, Alabama when he died following complications from cancer in 2015. In 2016, Indiana SADD created the Jim Noffsinger Legacy Award to be presented annually to an outstanding SADD chapter.
