Our Strategic Focus for the year 2008 includes:
1.
Communication
We will be in regular
communication so that all are fully informed. Communication is two-way
so we also expect suggestions and feedback so that we can collectively
move the association forward.
2.
More Inclusive Association
Participation in activities
of the Association, especially meetings, will be increased by reaching out to as many Senators as possible. We intend to seek the support of
members and NJC Secretariat in reaching out, especially to the older
Senators.
3.
Business Networking
Networking will also be
encouraged among members. So we expect that more members will bring
business, employment and related opportunities to Members' attention,
through the mailing list. We will also encourage discussion of Business
Opportunities among members.
4.
Support to JCI Nigeria
We will continue our support
to JCI Nigeria in the areas of Secretariat Development and Awards and
resolve all issues for the successful take off of JCI Nigeria Foundation
We also propose to revisit
the Annual Reunion issue so that past members can be drawn nearer
to the organisation.
5.
Support to African Senate
We need to be more active in
the African Senate as the largest Anglophone nation. Meetings are
attended more by the Francophones. It is so bad that sometimes they
consider translating to English a waste of time for less than 5
Anglophones in a meeting of over 30 people. Can you really blame them.
There is obviously strength in numbers. Please, plan to be
in Burkina Faso in May this year. We will be keeping in touch with
the person in charge of Senate Programme at the Conference and
forward all information to the list.
As you are aware there are
also Senate meetings at other JCI Conferences and World Congress.
You will shortly be given information on these for 2008.
Let us be guided for this year by the quote that " There are no speed limits in the pursuit of excellence. " |
