My dear fellow Jaycees, ladies and gentlemen!
I am deeply honored to have been elected as the President of JCI Ottawa; worlds leading global network of young active citizens to provide development opportunities that empower young people to create positive change. When I was given an opportunity to join this prestigious organisation ten years back I never thought this will be a game changer in my life. I was able to develop my leadership, communication and International networking skills, as JCI is an organisation which provides these opportunities. Let me thank all my mentors and leaders of Junior Chamber International (JCI) for their guidance and support throughout this journey which made me address all of you now.
I would also like to extend my gratitude to my past presidents and board of directors for having chosen me as “THE ONE”, who believed in me to head the team of JCI Ottawa. Friends, it is an absolute honor and privilege to be the President of JCI Ottawa for the 150th birth year of our nation, 2017. But a single head achieves nothing, so I am counting on your support to achieve the growth and goals we have been dreaming for our organisation. This is truly a moment to be honored and cherished; I accept this appointment with pride and will give my best efforts to make you proud to have selected me. With grace of God and the cooperation of fellow members, I will devote my time and myself to the obligations and the duties of this post.
Being a humble representative of this leading global network, I am always opened to new initiatives, new people, and new cooperation. There’s an old saying, “Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for powers equal to your tasks”. And the newborn is already facing expectations beyond belief. At the end of the year 2017, it is my dream and prayer that we will have transformed these possibilities and opportunities into stories of success and achievements. So again thanks for selecting me and thanks for all your guidance as we drive our organization from here and letting you see the great things we do with it.
Thank u Thank u all!
