MESSAGE OF GREETINGS Dear 2019 JCI Asia-Pacific Conference Delegates and Dignitaries, Kindly allow me the take the privilege to welcome you at Jeju, the host city of 2019 JCI Asia-Pacific Conference. Jeju is not only one of the greatest cities of Korea, but also one of the most popular holiday destinations of the world. Every year, the island of Jeju hosts more than 150 million visitors.

2019 JCI Asia-Pacific Conference should be considered a platform where active citizens from all around the world gather to exchange their ideas that will shape their future. Delegates will acquire new skills from world-class trainers, JCI Programs and events. 2019 will be marked as the first year of the new Strategic Plan and this conference will be remembered as the first Asia-Pacific Conference during the new plans implementation.

I would urge all delegates to allow some time to take a look at this wonderful Jeju city because there are three UNESCO World Heritage Sites in this city.

I must express our gratitude to the Conference Organizing Committee for their incredible hard work. The support we received from Local and National Organizations are appreciated. I am also grateful to JCI Headquarters Staff for their support and cooperation for the entire event.

Thank you for your support and I would look forward to meet each of you in person.

Inspire Youth, Inspire Leaders, Inspire Change!

Amzad Hussain 2019 JCI Executive Vice President
