JCI World Congress

Daily NewsJCI 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.
