Maine's state motto is "Dirigo," a Latin word meaning "I direct" or "I lead."
It's the shortest and simplest motto possible, but its deeper significance reveals the brightness of those who planted the state's seeds.
Leadership is at the root of all operations. Whether on a personal or professional level, true leaders inspire and make a positive difference to the people around them.
Dirigo is displayed on the top of Maine's state flag, reminding all residents of the importance of leading.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader,” proclaimed John Quincy Adams.
At the heart of the Convention of States mission is leadership that not only inspires but also truly makes a difference. We promote this fundamental principle through training and mentorship opportunities.
We aspire to produce a demonstrable impact on the restoration of America to its divinely inspired ideals. Through results, we confirm our important influence in revitalizing America to a nation of self-governance – a nation that thrives without overreaching demands and burdens from far-away voices in Washington.
You too can receive training in servant leadership while working to better the future of America.
We are actively making history and our efforts will certainly have significant results when Washington is no longer able to dictate how Americans live their lives.
