Announcing the 2015 JCI Australia National President

JCI Eastern is pleased to announce JCI Eastern member, Suzi Chen, as the incoming National President of JCI Australia.

Trained as a medical scientist and now works as a project manager for Country Fire Authority, Suzi has been involved with JCI since 2006 and has been an active JCI member with a strong passion in delivering community projects. In her speech at the October National Convention, Suzi explained the importance of building/re-introducing the relevance of JCI in what we do, a theme that Suzi wishes to foster for 2015.

We are excited to have Suzi leading us in 2015 and JCI Eastern sends our congratulations and the very best wishes to the 2015 National Board.

Stationery Drive is BACK!

Our super successful Stationery Drive in Aug/Sept this year saw JCI Eastern and Deakin Golden Key collected over 11,000 stationery items for donation. This overwhelming success means that we are back for more!

With the end of school term is just around the corner, why not consider donating your pre-loved stationery items to benefit Indigenous children in remote Australian communities?
