JCI World Congress

Daily News JCI members started off their last JCI Morning Show of the 2015 JCI World Congress with a special guest presentation by Global President of AIESEC International, Ana Saldarriaga. Delegates felt the inspiration of connection as Saldarriaga discussed the importance of collaborative action for sustainable change and how the YouthSpeak Survey is working to accomplish this action. Afterward, JCI members joined the 2015 JCI Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World Honorees (JCI TOYP) during the Collaborating for Impact: JCI TOYP Honoree Workshop. During the workshop, JCI members had the unique opportunity to interact with the honorees in round table discussions and listen to their stories of impact. During the third and final General Assembly, JCI delegates listened in as the 2016 Board of Directors received their assignments and the future of the organization was discussed. The impact continued as delegates gathered in the evening for the 2015 JCI Awards Ceremony featuring the JCI TOYP Honorees. JCI Local and National Organizations celebrated their accomplishments as they were recognized for the positive change they created throughout 2015. JCI the Netherlands hosted the final National Night party; members united to congratulate JCI the Netherlands for winning the bid to host the 2017 JCI World Congress in Amsterdam.
