HSBC Malta has renewed its corporate platinum membership with Junior Chamber International Malta. The renewed support highlights the bank’s confidence in JCI Malta to offer a platform for young leaders the opportunity to meet, learn and grow together through a number of initiatives. This agreement was signed by HSBC’s Head of Personal Financial Services, Godfrey Swain and JCI Malta National President 2006, Elaine Tabone Adami.

Through this agreement HSBC will be providing JCI Malta with resources which will enable it to provide quality training sessions, delivered by JCI international trainers. The agreement will also offer JCI’s members access to business networking opportunities and hands-on projects both in Malta and abroad.

“Support of JCI Malta’s efforts by high profile leading playmakers in the business community, such as HSBC Malta, give us the potential to seek out and offer our members the chance to take full advantage of all that the JCI platform can offer,” explained Dr Tabone Adami.

In accordance with JCI’s strategies, JCI Malta organises projects in the areas of business, individual, community and international development. Through these projects and various training events, JCI Malta’s members are given the opportunity to develop into better leaders to create better societies.

“HSBC has been closely associated with JCI Malta for a number of years, particularly its two flagship projects, the Best Business Plan (BBP) Competition and The Outstanding Young Person (TOYP) Award. Through this new agreement HSBC is further strengthening its support for young leaders by giving JCI the resources it needs to further develop the services it offers and the projects it runs,” said Mr Swain.

Junior Chamber Malta is affiliated to Junior Chamber International (JCI), a worldwide federation of young leaders and entrepreneurs aged between 18 and 40 that believes in the advancement of the global community and the creation of positive change. The federation has over 200,000 active members world-wide and millions of alumni participating in projects and events. JCI is present in more than 6,000 communities located in over 100 countries around the world.

Members meet at local, national, and international events to exchange ideas and share best practices, to network and to organise projects and related activities in accordance with JCI’s strategies in four key “Areas of Opportunity”, namely business, individual, community, and international development.
