The weekend of the Regional awards dinner was also the opportunity for those members who plan to hold leadership roles in the future at JCI chambers to attend local leaders training. JCI UK trainers Dan Lally and Emma Eastwood conducted the first newly revised local leaders training.

The training focused on leadership skills which members could take back to their respective chambers. 6 JCI members graduated from this course, including our Deputy President Kirstie Barnett. The training has empowered and enthused Kirstie for her presidential year next year and she is now busy planning a programme of personal development, as well as working with JCI Sheffield to co-ordinate region wide training opportunities.
