Dear JCI Sheffield members,

Happy New Year to you all and I hope you have managed to get over all the festive hangovers!!

I have now taken over the Presidential role of JCI Sheffield and plan to build on the fantastic work that Amy did in 2006. The JCI UK National Focus for 2007 is to increase our membership levels by continuing to offer members development opportunities in all of our key areas - Social, Personal Development, Business and Community. We also offer members the chance to attend events at both a national and international level. BUT despite all this we are still regarded by many as the "best kept secret" so we need to invite our friends, family and work colleagues so that we can inject more energy and enthusiasm into our fantastic organisation.
