Board of Directors

JCI Europe’s Board of Directors consists of elected active members who have the opportunity to lead and develop in their announced position for one year.

All JCI leaders are elected for one year only. All international officials are elected during the General Assembly, which takes place each year at the World Congress. Chief Delegates, the National Presidents of each country, are eligible to vote.

This structure is replicated at the local and national level, with National Presidents serving in the highest national office. To see which Vice President looks after your country, see the National Organisations.
