What is ZoneCon?
The annual zone conference — the biggest gathering in a JCI India zone's calendar, and the assembly that shapes its next year.
How a ZoneCon works
From the JCI India Plan of Action:
One zone, one venue
The annual conference of all zone members, hosted by one Local Organization of the zone, selected by the Zone Governing Board.
Two days, fixed window
Held between 1 October and 10 November, across two conference days.
The zone decides
Registration fees are set by the ZGB; the host economics are the zone's own responsibility.
Elections & awards
The general assembly elects the next year's zone officers, and zone awards — including the Kamal Patra — are presented.
JCI, JCI India and Zone 26
JCI
A worldwide community of young active citizens aged 18–40 in 100+ countries — founded in St. Louis in 1915, federated internationally in Mexico City on 11 December 1944. Vision: to be the foremost global network of young leaders.
JCI India
Since 1949 (first chapter in Calcutta), the second-largest member nation of JCI — Local Organizations grouped into 29 zones under a National Governing Board. Tagline: "Be Better."
Zone 26
Central and southern Andhra Pradesh — from the Godavari districts through Krishna, Guntur, Prakasam and Nellore to Chittoor, Kadapa and Kurnool. 36 Local Organizations strong. Meet the zone →
The JCI Creed
We believe:
That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life;
That the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations;
That economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise;
That government should be of laws rather than of men;
That earth's great treasure lies in human personality;
And that service to humanity is the best work of life.
C. William Brownfield, 1946 · read at every JCI gathering
