A Message from the National Director ..

I am proud to deliver to pageantry the essential elements that provide a positive experience for the Delegates. Through the years, I have found that it is not the winning but rather the journey itself that is the true prize.

The Miss Junior Teen, Miss Teen, Miss and Ms. United States Pageants were founded as affiliates of the Mrs. United States National Pageant® System based on a solid commitment to making this system synonymous with fairness and integrity. The team of individuals lending more than one hundred years of combined international pageant experience, secures our position as a solid and respected leader in the field of pageantry.

Winning is so much more than the crown and banner, it’s giving a voice to those that need to be heard, lending a hand to those less fortunate, and being a compass to those daring to dream.

I am so proud of each and every State representative I have met through these years, and I continue to be impressed by their ongoing achievements and successes in life’s journey.

Lynda Samuels, National Director
