How JCI has changed my life

Back in 2007 I joined JCI Boston after my colleague Alli Cowell persuaded me to go to their business visit- the walkers crisps factory in Lincoln.  I loved the visit and everyone was so friendly so I decided to join.

I ventured outside my local chamber in 2008, Hull for the regional dinner and Manchester for National awards. At this point I was hooked and wanted to get involved more.  After a couple of 
years on council, I decided to step up as president of JCI Boston in 2011.

I am so proud to have been president of my home town chamber we definitely punched above our weight that year and people certainly had heard of JCI Boston. My confidence grew and I learnt lots of new skills.

I met my partner through JCI, a lovely Yorkshire man from JCI Barnsley, Richard Grange.  Boston and Barnsley have become close chambers and are collectively known as Bosley.  We try to get to each other’s events so we know the A1 quite well.

So last year in November Richard and I decided to move in together.  This meant I was relocating to Yorkshire.

My new employers Smith Craven had heard of JCI as they used to be a patron of JCI Doncaster and I was lucky enough to have a group of friends already in Barnsley.  The move to Yorkshire didn't seem that daunting.

I am certainly not the same person that joined back in 2007 and wouldn't be here in Yorkshire if it hadn't been for JCI.

I have decided to transfer my membership to JCI Barnsley on 1st July as I have this enthusiasm for JCI again now in Barnsley. I will always have JCI Boston in my heart and wish the chamber every success in the future.
