DID YOU KNOW…

The United States Junior Chamber (Jaycees) gives young people between the ages of 18 and 40 the tools they need to build the bridges of success for themselves in the areas of business development, management skills, individual training, community service, and international connections. The U.S. Junior Chamber is a non-profit corporation/organization as described under IRS code 501.

Established in 1920 to provide opportunities for young men to develop personal and leadership skills through service to others, the Jaycees later expanded to include women, reflecting the growing influence and leadership of women in America.

For the past 86 years, Jaycees have been a force for good in America and around the world. Jaycees helped establish AirMail services in America with Jaycee Charles Lindbergh, and have raised millions of dollars for causes such as the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the March of Dimes. They have built parks, playgrounds, hospitals, ball fields, and housing for the elderly while conducting service and support programs in thousands of communities nationwide.

Jaycees can be found in all walks of life: governmental leaders such as past Presidents Bill Clinton and Gerald Ford, business tycoons such as Domino’s Pizza mogul Tom Monaghan, registered nurse and former Miss America Kaye Lani Rae Rafko-Wilson, sports heroes like basketball great Larry Bird – name the field and Jaycees can be found at the forefront.

With the focus of the nation on volunteerism, from the smallest towns to the largest cities, the Jaycees are enlarging areas of opportunity for young people.

Ready to throw your hat in the ring? Go to www.jci.cc, www.usjaycees.org, or www.fljaycees.org to find out more about this global organization with 5,000 chapters around the world in more than 110 countries!

SHUT UP… and LISTEN

Listening is a Unique Selling Point that is much underestimated. In most management trainings the emphasis is on presenting yourself, selling yourself, talking and being assertive. A good listener only the words themselves matter, but also to the meaning behind the words and the non-verbal language around it. By hearing “the whole picture”, the message becomes clearer and becomes information instead of noise. Be a better salesman, a better colleague and a better manager by learning the art of listening.

Join us for our regular General Membership Meeting and stay for **brief** mini-training. This is after-all one of the unique benefits of being a Jaycee… the TRAINING!
