Q: When did you join and how long have you been a member? 

A: I joined in July 2007 which means I have been a member for 9 years

Q: Membership is a yearly commitment, why did you first renew and why do you continue to renew your membership?

A: JCI offers great opportunities to develop yourself and there is always something new to try to push you outside your comfort zone. I have learnt many skills in JCI, made many friends and had some incredible memories. Why would I not renew my membership! 

Q: What is you favourite JCI memory?

A: In nine years there have been lots of memories and its difficult to name a favorite.  Highlights included gladiators fighting at last year's national awards dinner (which we hosted), attempting to do the Yorkshire 3 peaks in July 2014 in aid of BIADS, walking up snowdon in 2010 for Fun!

Q: International is one of the five areas of opportunity - where have you travelled with JCI?

A: JCI Barnsley has a twinned chamber Aberdeen and I have visited them twice. Once for their Industrial awards ceremony, the other last year when they hosted the Scottish National conference. I have attended European conference in Tarragona  (Catalonia) in 2011, Monte Carlo in 2013 (A 30th birthday I will never forget!) Malta in 2014. I attended my one and only World Congress in Leipzig Germany. This list is not complete!
