JCCI Forward Forums

JCCI Forward is a leadership development program that provides opportunities for emerging leaders to learn about our community, engage in problem solving, and act to make positive change.  Primarily 25-45 year-olds, participants prepare for leadership roles through skills trainings, issue forum discussions, and fun networking socials.

Maybe you want to know more about how "Going Green $aves Green" or need to embark upon "Community Engagement thru Social Media."  Maybe you heard about the delicious fare at the upcoming "The Slow Food Movement:  What's for Dinner?" forum and want to know when next you can mingle with your colleagues and community peers while nibbling and learning.  Please visit the Events Calendar to see which of our upcoming activities fits your schedule. Most events are free and open to the public.
