the globe will be attending this event.
Our Area includes:
Argentina Columbia Haiti Paraguay
Bermuda Dominican Republic Honduras Peru
Bolivia Dutch Caribbean Mexico Puerto Rico

Our International counterparts are extremely active in JCI activities,
and can provide valuable insight and experience on community and
leadership opportunities at the international level. Who wouldn't
welcome the chance to make friends with fellow Jaycees from locations
you have only dreamed of visiting?
You'll meet Jaycees from all of these countries and others, including
Ireland, Japan, Germany, Great Britain, Switzerland, Spain, Africa and
more!
Here are some quick facts that you might want to know about this special
event:
When: The Conference starts Wednesday, May 9th, and concludes after the
Awards Ceremony on Saturday night, the 12th.
