I am pleased to be a patron of JCI Edinburgh. It says on their website:

"JCI Edinburgh has been recognised internationally as the Best Junior Chamber in the world in 2003, 2004, and 2005.  There are 6,000 chambers worldwide and Edinburgh continues to push the boundaries to provide outstanding development opportunities for young people in Edinburgh to develop their leadership and entrepreneurial skills, while benefitting the community.  This was only achieved through help of our patrons who we value and greatly appreciate."

I won't claim I achieved it all, or very much of it at all, but I was a patron throughout that time, and am constantly astonished by what these folks achieve.  'Young' by the way, means 18-40.  In 2005 I supported The Outstanding Young Person of the Year Awards, chairing the awards committee.  Two of the world winner places, (out of eight) went to Scotland that year.  One particularly impressive fact is that this organisation is run entirely by volunteers alongside their day jobs.

My main contribution has been in helping with PR and giving some individual coaching.  Always a pleasure guys!
