 President's Message
Dear Reader,
I hope you are all well and will enjoy what is left of summer.
I'm delighted to announce that September has been declared as an official
'JCI Impact Month!'
The “Impact of One” is a challenge issued to all JCI members by JCI World
President Roland Kwemain to bring one new young active citizen to JCI in
2010. He believes that 'through the addition of a new member, our ability to
create a greater impact increases by the skills and abilities of such a
person. If every JCI member brings one new person to JCI, our impact is
doubled and magnified by the skills and abilities of hundreds of thousands
of individuals who are yearning to make a difference in their communities,
countries and the world at large.'
Imagine the impact we would have in JCI UK if each and every one of us
were able to rise that challenge? Imagine the satisfaction and personal
reward to be part of something that contributed to growing our great
organisation and the impact in your local communities!
Every Local Chamber and Member in JCI UK is encouraged to take part in
the contest which will see the 3 members who bring the most new members to
the organisation during the month of September recognised at the World
Congress in Osaka in November. The efforts of members taking part in
the UK will also be recognised at our own National Awards. Please
contact me or your local President for further details on how to take part!
There are, of course, lots of other activities going on in JCI UK.
National Board are meeting on 5th September and have already begun
preparations for our AGM in Sheffield on Saturday 9th October. 'Ladies
Day' at the races in Doncaster takes place on 11th September with a great
spread of members attending from across the UK - promises to be a great
day!!
I very much look forward to my next update and to share how the 'Impact
of One' is felt by JCI UK during September!
Warm regards
Lesley Young
National President 2010
JCI United Kingdom
