We aims to have
activities at least once a month for our members, it could be in the form of meetings,
trainings, talks, seminars, business networking and gathering.
What you do is you
ask around members to help you, number one. Number two, if you think you can
bring your friends in, wonderful! People are your friends, that you share the
same interest and all that, wonderful! Get them in.
In JCI, we want to
give the opportunities of learning to our members first. You should first solicit
the help from existing members, if you think that you got a problem, and then
you want to talk to your friends, no problem.
For JCI Member, if
we can arrange it free we¡¯ll arrange it free. However sometimes we need to pay
for rental of place, food and beverages and some miscellaneous expenses. Usually
it¡¯ll range from RM20 to RM50 ringgit depending on the type of projects. But it¡¯ll
not be very expensive. Every effort has been made to keep the cost down for our
members.
Whenever there is
time, whenever we have trainings, if you think that is relevant to you, make
time for it. Our trainings could be half a day; our trainings could be one day,
make time for it, if you think it¡¯s important to you. If you think chairing a meeting effectively is
very important to you as a manger, I think by hook or by crook, you should find
the time.
Basically we are a
volunteering organization. It very much depends on what you are looking for.
BNI is basically Business Networking. JCI also have our own Business
Networking, our way, we¡¯re a bit different from BNI. However in addition to
Business Networking, we also have Career Developments, Community Service,
International Contacts and Project Planning.
