Congress News Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2013 Today’s Theme: IMPACT
Congress Delegates Work Toward Creating Impact Impact is change. Impact is action. Change for the future. Action for society. Impact for the better. Impact created by engaged active citizens at all levels of society. Impact is the result of collective action. Today’s daily theme is impact. What does impact mean to you? Today’s World Congress events, forums and seminars will answer these questions and more as Congress delegates enjoy diverse and impactful programming. The JCI Morning Show starts the day with a focus on impact, complete with a special guest, prizes and energetic games. Don’t forget to attend the 2014 JCI Vice President Candidates Caucus to hear how the potential 2014 JCI leaders plan on creating impact locally and globally. In the afternoon, participate in the first official business of Congress at General Assembly I as important decisions are made impacting the future of our organization. Use each activity and experience today to think more about how JCI will enable communities to achieve sustainable impact.
