What you will get out of the evening
• What makes a great leader??
• How to become an effective leader???

Participation in the community is one of the five areas of opportunity offered by JCI. Many of the Junior Chamber members are active in local communities through involvement in community and civic projects. There are many more individuals (including non JCI members) who desire to participate in the development of local community either by taking up a full time employment or through assisting on a voluntary basis.

Acknowledging the fact that there is a difference in the skill set and approach, which is required in the Voluntary sector, JCI Reading is hosting a presentation on Leadership in the Charitable/Non profit Sector.

The purpose of this talk is to recognise the challenges being faced in the Voluntary Sector and how we can deal with them efficiently and effectively.

Our speaker David Wambebe (FRSA) will highlight key tools for Leadership in a Charitable Organisation while sharing some of his experiences of this sector.
