National Vice President Manual
This publication is a result of surveys and adaptations from many National Organizations' publications and the experiences of JCI officers as well as that of Growth and Development Staff Officers at the JCI World Headquarters.
The main purpose is to offer guidance and instructions to those holding one of the most important offices in Junior Chamber, the office of National Vice President.
The National Vice President is a true ambassador of the Organization. Although the office is but the first step in the National political and administrative structure, the National Vice President has under his or her responsibility the orientation, development and growth of the Chapters assigned to him as well as the responsibility to create new Chapters.
But this should not be too difficult for the National Vice President, who in most cases is a Past Chapter President and a true expert in local management. He now has the opportunity to offer the experience acquired as Local President to incoming Local Presidents who, with enthusiasm, many ideas, and plans, lack only the advice of an experienced National Vice President to help them with that first push so important to the development of the Chapter.
In this regard, the National Vice President will be most effective if assigned to other than his or her own Chapter, thus avoiding political problems as well as offering a wider range of experience.
And it is to these “miraculous and expert ambassadors” that this manual is addressed to offer some guidance in sharing their considerable experience in chapter management acquired as Local Presidents. The skills and knowledge of the National Vice President will thus be well invested.
And, at the end of the National Vice President’s year, he will have become an expert in National Management, having acquired all the skills needed to assume the next office, that of National Executive Vice President.
Good Luck!
