Have you ever been to The U.S. Jaycees Annual Meeting?

Once you have, you cannot wait until the next one is here to catch up with friends from around the country, attend excellent training, celebrate the preceding year with the year end awards program, have fun at the many socials, be inspired by the Ten Outstanding Young Americans (TOYA) awards program and have the opportunity to explore a great city.

Experience Chicago at The U.S. Jaycees 91st Annual Meeting

Once you visit Chicago, you will know why so many people list it as one of their favorite American cities.  With its beautiful lakefront, incredible architecture and cosmopolitan culture, Chicago attracts millions every year. Chicago offers something for everyone – from world-class shopping, fine art galleries, architecture, museums and theatres to unique neighborhoods rich in distinctive cultural heritage.

Chicago is home to...

• Dozens of cultural institutions, historical sites and museums
• Nearly 200 art galleries
• More than 7,300 restaurants
• 77 community areas containing more than 100 neighborhoods
• 26 miles of lakefront and 552 parks
• 15 miles of bathing beaches and 19 miles of lakefront bicycle paths

Consider extending your vacation to experience everything the city has to offer.  Even though it is the 3rd largest city in the United States, Chicago’s Midwestern values and great people make it the best of both worlds:  small town America with the fun and excitement of a large city.

Chicago's premier location translates into real convenience for everyone.  Over 50 different airlines service Chicago’s two airports, helping make flights in and out of the city more cost competitive than those of most major U.S. cities.   Chicago is drivable from many Jaycee states and once in Chicago, the convention hotel offers free parking.

The U.S. Jaycees have already started planning for a great convention. The U.S. JCI Senate overlaps their annual meeting in Chicago just a mile away so it will be a great way to celebrate the accomplishments of our 91st Anniversary with both the older and newer generation of Jaycees coming together. 

Chicago is going be a great time for both first timers and those that already have had the fun experience of The U.S. Jaycees Annual Meeting.  We are expecting large contingents from many states so don’t miss what could be the largest gathering of The U.S. Jaycees in a long time.

Register today and spread the word that Chicago is the place to be for all U.S. Jaycees in 2011! 

About The U.S. Junior Chamber

The United States Junior Chamber (Jaycees) gives young people between the ages of 18 and 41 the tools they need to build the bridges of success for themselves in the areas of business development, management skills, individual training, community service, and international connections. The U.S. Junior Chamber is a non-profit corporation/organization as described under IRS code 501.

Established in 1920 to provide opportunities for young men to develop personal and leadership skills through service to others, the Jaycees later expanded to include women, reflecting the growing influence and leadership of women in America.

For the past 90 years, Jaycees have been a force for good in America and around the world. Jaycees helped establish AirMail services in America with Jaycee Charles Lindbergh, and have raised millions of dollars for causes such as the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the March of Dimes. They have built parks, playgrounds, hospitals, ball fields, and housing for the elderly while conducting service and support programs in thousands of communities nationwide.

Jaycees can be found in all walks of life: governmental leaders such as past Presidents Bill Clinton and Gerald Ford, business tycoons such as Domino's Pizza mogul Tom Monaghan, registered nurse and former Miss America Kaye Lani Rae Rafko-Wilson, sports heroes like basketball great Larry Bird – name the field and Jaycees can be found at the forefront.
