In 2008, JCI will stress active citizenship -- the active role of people, communities and voluntary organizations in decision making that directly affects them. JCI’s two hundred thousand members believe in the importance of active citizenship. Without it, much of the progress made from the industrial revolution would not exist.Consequently, JCI is in a unique position to become the organization of choice for governmental and or nongovernmental organizations to consult when they wish to know the view of young leaders and entrepreneurs in society. JCI will seek to represent this constituency. I.
