Junior Chamber International



Junior Chamber International (JCI) is a worldwide federation of young leaders and entrepreneurs with nearly a quarter of a million members and millions of alumni. It’s an organization in which leaders meet, learn and grow.

History

In 1944, Junior Chamber International was formed in Mexico City, Mexico expanding the Jaycees internationally.

National Organizations federated to JCI are active in more than 6,000 chapters located in more than 100 nations and territories.

The JCI Headquarters was established in 1951 and was located in Coral Gables, Florida, U.S.A. (1969-2004). In 2004, the JCI Headquarters was relocated to Chesterfield, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis where the first local organization was founded.

The 61th JCI World Congress will be held in Seoul, Korea, on November 12-18, 2006. The winners of the Outstanding Young Persons of the World (TOYP) program are announced each year at the JCI World Congress. The program honors up to ten young individuals who best exemplify the finest attributes of the world's young people. JCI also hosts four regional conferences (known as an Area Conference) each year to conduct its business and training as well as address items of concern and global issues. During 2006, these conferences will be held in Monastir, Tunisia; Takamatsu, Japan; Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadaloupe; and Tallinn, Estonia.

JCI divides the management of the National Organizational Members (NOMs) into four areas:
* Area A - Africa & Middle East
* Area B - Asia & Pacific
* Area C - Americas & The Caribbean
* Area D - Europe
