I first heard of the Jaycees when I lived in Greenville, NC back in 2005. They organized the city’s Christmas parade and I thought it would be a great place to meet new people and keep myself busy on Saturday afternoons. Unfortunately, I never did more than think about it.
I joined the Jaycees for 3 reasons.
1. Improve my leadership skills
2. Become connected to progressive professionals in Charlotte
3. Make a difference in and for the Charlotte community
I must admit, that in the beginning I joined for selfish reasons of growing myself and my business. I’m a small business owner in Charlotte who was seeking to improve the quality of my company and business performance. To improve the quality of any company I believe starts with improving the people and product of that company. As the owner of the company, I believe it starts with me. So leadership development is very important to me.
After living in Florida for seven years and finally moving back to North Carolina, I was looking for a way to re-connect with people my age and get more involved in the Charlotte community. A colleague of mine and our current president, David Hoffman, introduced me to the Junior Chamber and invited me to a General Membership meeting. I was expecting to go to a typical networking event where I could shake a few hands and be handed a few business cards.
he Ignite mantra is “enlighten us, but make it quick.” Two Charlotte Junior Chamber members, Christy Hamlin and Lawrence Shaheen Jr., answered the challenge and, after a competitive selection process, both were chosen to speak in the upcoming Ignite Charlotte 2, on Tuesday, February 8 at 7 p.m.
Christy Hamlin’s topic is entitled, “Vision Casting.” Lawrence Shaheen’s is entitled “Bridging the Gap.”
