Award Their Members |
The Englewood Jaycees is our Junior Chamber of Commerce. The organization was founded in 1925 and is very active in community projects. In 1992, the Florida Jaycees formed the disaster relief team, that foundation has already helped in over 15 natural disasters. The Florida Jaycees develop leaders. People who want to go on to start their own business or run for political office like former Governors Dan McCarty, Leroy Collins and Lawton Chiles. Over half of the representatives in Tallahassee today have "Jaycees" on their resume; including Rep. Peter Rudy Wallace, an active member of the Sunshine (St. Petersburg) City Jaycees and Senator Bill Bankhead; a past President of the Jacksonville Jaycees. The Jaycees training methods gives everyone an opportunity for achievement. There are no failures in the Jaycees, only degrees of success. Englewood Jaycees offer a wide variety of projects and training classes. There are training programs for better communication skills, team building and personal growth. These projects are designed to enhance the leadership ability of the members in a fun and enjoyable way. With the use of a "Chairman's Planning Guide" they will teach members how to plan a project from start to finish. |
How to organize and keep under budget and how to anticipate problems with solutions as well as revisions and recommended changes. The organization is volunteer based and attendance is encouraged but not mandated.
