US Junior Chamber seeks members for new Tulsa club

The United States Junior Chamber of Commerce is in the process of establishing a new chapter in Tulsa.  The US Junior Chamber seeks to empower young men and women, age 18-40, to create positive change in their community.  Local chapters of the Junior Chamber focus on the following four areas of development:

 

1.      Individual Development (programs dealing with personal and professional development and leadership skills)

2.      Community Development (identifying needs in the local community to create positive change through hands-on projects)

3.      Business Development (to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit while empowering men and women to best utilize their talents)

4.      International Development (getting connected with young professionals across the world through the vast international network while getting involved with the development goals of the United Nations and the UN Foundation)

 

The Greater Tulsa Junior Chamber is inducting its founding members on Tuesday, July 14.  This new organization will serve as an important addition to the Tulsa community and its future growth.  The focus of the Junior Chamber (Jaycees) has always been one of identifying needs in the community and then actually going out into the community to produce positive change via community action projects.  The primary goal of this organization is to create projects that directly impact the community.  Our members work alongside those in need to create a better tomorrow for ourselves, the community, and all those around us.

 

The group of men and women that have been identified in Tulsa thus far are amongst the best and brightest young citizens. While their backgrounds and professions are varied, they all share the common interest in wanting to take an active and hands-on role in the community. All activities in our organization are voluntary for our members.  They only have to participate in those events that they have the time and interest for.  With our diverse mission and development areas, there is something for everyone.  NEW MEMBERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOMED TO JOIN- YEAR ROUND!

 

The US Junior Chamber of Commerce has had close to 10 million members since its inception in 1920 and currently has chapters in close to 1,000 communities in the US and more than 6,000 worldwide in more than 115 countries.  We are the only international network of young active citizens.

 

We are looking for community-minded individuals interested in creating the premier organization for young people in Tulsa.  We recruit year-round and anyone is able to attend our membership meetings.

 

Check out the US website at:  www.usjaycees.org and the international site at www.jci.cc.  Feel free to also contact Laurence A. Bolotin, executive vice-president, at evp@usjaycees.org or at 918-584-2481.

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

 

Sincerely,

 

Laurence A. Bolotin

Executive Vice-President

The U.S. Junior Chamber
