INVEST in the Future of Our World Invest is support. Invest is responsibility. Support for advancing our goals.

Responsibility for financial stability. Invest in the ideas and efforts of active citizens.

Investment that sustains progress. Invest in the dream to unite for a better world.

Today’s theme is invest. What does invest mean to you? Today’s World Congress events, forums and sessions will answer this question and more as Congress delegates focus on ways to help JCI plan responsibly for the future. The JCI Morning Show starts the day with a focus on investing in the future of our communities at the local, national and international level. Join this vibrant show to learn how to effectively invest their time and resources to take action for a better world. Immediately following the first Morning Show, be sure to attend the 2015 JCI Vice President Candidates Caucus to hear how the potential 2015 JCI leaders plan on using their skills to invest in the future of JCI. In the afternoon, participate in the first official business of the World Congress at General Assembly I as the leaders of our organization make important decisions and highlight accomplishments from the past year, while moving the organization into a bright future. Use each activity and experience today to think more about how JCI members, partners and friends can invest in the future of our world.
