Svetový kongres JCI v nemeckom Lipsku je síce už dávno za nami, napriek tomu je dobré pripomenúť si, že jednou z hlavných úloh delegátov zo 105 krajín bolo hlasovanie o nových štatutároch JCI pre rok 2015.

Bolo treba zvoliť 17 viceprezidentov JCI pre jednotlivé oblastné reagióny, 4 hlavných viceprezidentov a samozrejme aj svetového prezidenta JCI. Ako už isto všetci viete, novým celosvetovým prezidentom JCI sa stal Turek Ismail Hazmedar, ktorý kandidoval ako jediný na túto pozíciu a po roku vystrieda populárneho Shine Bhaskarana z Indie. Viceprezidentkou JCI pre Slovensko sa stala sympatická Holanďanka žijúca v UK, Lisan Beentjes, na ktorú sa samozrejme už tešíme v roku 2015. Pre úplnosť si môžete nižšie pozrieť zoznam a krátke profily všetkých kandidátov:
