First and foremost, I would like to wish each and every one of you a very Happy New Year! and an even more successful 2008. Look to your left and to your right at this weekend's Junior Chamber meetings and events and take note of the leaders that will be inspired and empowered in the next few months to make big changes and do great things. I also would like to thank JCI-Caribbean's Melinda, Darin, and Christine in Region South and Shannon and Melissa in Region West for coordinating the region meetings and giving the 2007 Year-End a proper send off.
Please remember that 2008 is going to be a big change in the annual schedule, starting with this very early Regional Meeting weekend and an early Year-End convention in Syracuse NEXT weekend. This can be both challenging AND exciting for this coming year, so here's what you can expect:
2008 is going to be divided into 3 Sessions, instead of 4 Quarters.
Session I (Jan - Apr)
In early March (Sat, the 1st), we're going to bring you the 2nd half, JCI Trainer, in Albany as well as a chance to meet with your government officials at the State Level (March 2-4). EVERYONE ATTENDING BOTH COURSES WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO BECOME A CLT - CERTIFIED LOCAL TRAINER! and assist in future trainings of JCI Achieve, Presenter, Trainer, and Lead* (once 25 hours have been met).
Also in March (19-21), we will be promoting New York State at the National Year-End/TOYA Celebration in Memphis, TN. Get on the bus! and ride down with your Jaycees' friends for some extra fun.
Session II (May - Aug)
May 2-4, Batavia is going to be hosting a special convention, featuring Nationally-famed business speaker/coach Jeff Magee!
And we'll be hosting the JCI UN Summit (July 26-29) and JCI MetNet: MetNet & the City (July 31-Aug 3) along with out International Video Promotion contest If that's not enough, we're going to offer JCI LEAD in Manhattan on July 30-31 with International Trainer Patrick Knight (author of the Art of Seduction and JumpStart Your Chapter).
