A Year to Dream Big!
Dear Jaycee Members, Senators, Alumni and Friends,
What a wonderful year we have had working diligently to
“Dream Big.” We have tirelessly worked to promote our
vision, mission and values, focusing on making an impact
and empowering our members to create positive change
in their communities.
As we continue our efforts in 2015, I urge you to keep
moving the organization forward by hosting great chapter
projects that showcase our members creating sustainable
solutions for our communities, states, country and the world.
Thank you so much for your dedication and hard work

BzzzTour 2.0
BzzzTour 2.0 was a partnership created between the United Nations
Foundation/Nothing But Nets and the United States Junior Chamber/
JCI USA. It was designed to accomplish three key objectives: fundraising,
awareness and advocacy. In 2014, we embarked on a second summer tour
led by JCI USA Immediate Past President, Chrystal Ramsay-Dyess. President
Fay Poissant and others participated as BzzzTour 2.0 visited 100 chapters
in just under three months.
The Purpose
The purpose of this tour was to work with chapters and states to promote
advocacy of Nothing But Nets.
The Tour
We worked with Nothing But Nets and their partners as the team traveled
across the country, meeting with Jaycee chapters and participating in
their events focused on malaria awareness, prevention and fundraising.
In addition, we conducted in-district meetings and town hall meetings
with our members, empowering them to advocate on behalf of Nothing
But Nets by sharing the Nothing But Nets story with government officials,
their staff members and other community members.
Outcome
BzzzTour 2.0 raised $50,000 and had over 1,000 advocacy cards submitted.
In addition, we held 102 Congressional meetings, traveled to 20 states (and
Mexico), had 38 media appearances and visited 100 chapters.

National Meetings
The JCI USA National Meetings help our members become stronger leaders, build
membership, network, and provide trainings that our members can take back to
their states and chapters.
State Presidents’ Retreat (SPR)
State Presidents’ Retreat is a 3-day conference designed
to train and prepare incoming State Presidents for the
job ahead. No application is necessary; all incoming
State Presidents are automatically accepted to attend.
The 2014 SPR was held December 5 – 8, 2013, at Camp
Discovery, in Gainesboro, TN.
State Presidents, along with incoming National Officers,
learned about many important subjects, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Effective Communication
Building Strong State Boards
Running Effective Meetings with Parliamentary
Procedure
Meeting with Government Officials
Getting the Most out of a National Officer Visit
Conflict Resolution
Utilizing the Passport to Civic Leadership and Civic
Leadership Certification Programs
Joining the State Presidents and National Officers was
2013 – 2014 US JCI Senate President, Larry Bohn. He
shared the importance of our partnership with the
Senate, and offered continued support and resources.
The US Jaycee Foundation and War Memorial Trust sent
representation to discuss how to become donors and
how to request for grants for their states and chapters.
Local Presidents’ Summit (LPS)
This event, held in St. Louis, MO, January 9 – 12, 2014,
brought together Local Chapter Presidents from
across the U.S. and Canada for an intensive weekend
of training, connecting and collaborating. The theme
was “Leading by Example,” and the goal was for the
attendees to hone their leadership skills so they could
effectively lead their chapters throughout the coming
year. Session topics included:
•
•
•
•
•
Running Effective Meetings
Creating Effective Chapter Plans
Building Strong Chapter Boards
Effective Communication with Members, Potential members, and civic leaders
understanding the membership database, the website, and other tools and resources
Over 120 attendees participated in the weekend, where
in addition to training and fellowship, the participants
witnessed the inauguration of the National Officers and
were addressed by JCI World President, Shine Bhaskaran.
In 2014, JCI Canada joined JCI USA at Local Presidents’
Summit. JCI Canada had their National President and
10 Local Chapter Presidents participate in our training,
creating bonds with our fellow members, and truly
developing a global network of young active citizens.

Annual Meeting 2014
The Annual Meeting is a conference of fellowship, friendship,
education, and fun! The 2014 Annual Meeting was held June
25 – 28, 2014, in Baltimore, Maryland, with over 400 attendees.
Highlights of the conference included the election of the 95th
National President and six National Vice Presidents, and the
recognition of members and chapters for their work in 2013.
The signature event of the weekend was our 76th Annual Ten
Outstanding Young Americans (TOYA) banquet on Saturday
night. The 2014 class of recipients included individuals from
all over the country, all committed to creating impact and
positive change through their actions. The honorees were:

Governmental Affairs Leadership Seminar (GALS)
GALS returned to Washington DC for the first time since 2008.
Held September 27 – 29, 2014, this event gave members the
opportunity to work with other organizations, businesses and
partners to build resolutions creating positive change in the
world. Attendees spent the weekend hearing from amazing
speakers on important topics facing today’s young people.
This conference also provided the tools young people need
to understand how government works and how to leverage
those connections to benefit our chapters.
JCI USA partnered with United Nations Foundation Nothing
But Nets and participated in their Champion Summit which
was held in conjunction with our GALS event. Attendees heard
from United Nation Foundation speakers who focused on
being a champion for the causes you support and learning
the importance of grassroots advocacy. Highlights from the
weekend included:

Breakout Sessions
The event concluded with a day on Capitol Hill. Members
had the opportunity to meet with their US Senators and
Representatives, discussing not only our support of Nothing
But Nets and the need for their continued support to end
malaria, but also the many impactful things our chapters are
doing in our communities.

The US Jaycees
Foundation 2014
During 2014, the United States Jaycees Foundation continued to support The United States Junior Chamber in a number
of ways. An essay contest titled ‘What it means to be a Jaycee’ was conducted by the Foundation, with monetary awards
being given to the individuals with the best essays. The judges reviewed all the entries and the top five winners, each
receiving a $100 prize, were: Debra Bethard-Caplick (Illinois), Cathy Caldwell (Iowa), Jason Rhodes (Delaware), Jonathan
Lederman (Florida) and Terry Kolaz (Illinois). In addition to the essay contest, the Foundation granted funds to the Palatine
(Illinois) Jaycees for Disaster Relief, and assisted the Philippine-New York Jaycees in sending funds to Moore, Oklahoma,
after a devastating tornado.
The Foundation held several meetings with the War Memorial Trust, discussing the possibility of merging the two
organizations together. The Foundation and the Trust have agreed to merge the two organizations and form a single
Foundation to be called the US Jaycees Foundation, Inc. At the beginning, all programs will be merged and will be
reviewed later to streamline the programs. A date has not yet been determined as to when the merger will be final, but
it is anticipated to happen sometime in 2015. In the meantime, the Foundation website will continue to serve as the
location for the archives and the endowments will still accept donations along with disaster relief.
The Foundation continues to need your help in collecting, cleaning and organizing the archives of JCI USA / Jaycees /
U.S. Junior Chamber. We welcome individuals to submit updates and any additional information for the archives to the
Foundation website, www.usjayceefoundation.org.
At the year-end convention in Nashville in March 2015, the Foundation, along with the US Junior Chamber, recognized Mr.
Moton Crockett with an Ambassadorship. Moton’s many years of generosity and giving back to the Jaycee organization
was acknowledged when he was recognized with the highest honor bestowed by the US Jaycees. Moton is Ambassador
#4317.
