Highlights from the 2014 JCI Australia AGM Weekend

About this time last month our members were rolling the sleeves up and getting ready to host the 2014 JCI Australia Annual General Meeting.  From 2 May to 4 May, he 2014 AGM weekend was attended by some international guests including JCI Vice President, Alex of JCI Indonesia and past members from Netherlands and Belgium. Past JCI Australia National Presidents, Peter McPhee and Mark Lane, also supported the weekend through their attendance/presentation.

So what did we achieve together over the hectic JCI Australia AGM weekend? After some serious number crunching, JCI Eastern is proud to present the following.
  • A very affordable registration fee schedule was offered.
  • 1 training session (JCI Admin) and 2 workshops (Public Speaking and Active Citizen Framework) were conducted.
  • 2 charity events with were scheduled.
  • 1 JCI Australia Ambassador Award was announced. 
  • Members from 2 University clubs (Deakin Dance Club and Deakin Golden Key) attended the weekend.
  • 98 mosquito bed nets will be donated as a result of the weekend and the High Tea with My Malaria Mission.
  • $600 will be donated to Aspergers Victoria as a result of the Trivia with a Cause night.
  • Approx $700 went towards the catering service by Waverley Industries, an organisation that provides job opportunities for people with disabilities.
Here are some of the highlights from the AGM weekend.
