The 2012 JCI World President Bertolt Daems visited Sheffield on Friday 10th February 2012 to hear about JCI Sheffield and our impact in the community! On the day we shared our plans for the year with the start of one of our community projects to reclaim the union flag.

Since joining JCI in 2003 Bertolt has had a very active career! He was a founder member of his local chamber, has held many European and international titles, been honoured as JCI Senator No.68118 and is now World President for 2012! As well as this he is also fluent in English, German and Dutch.

He firmly believes that in a world facing so many challenges it is the young active citizens like us that will provide the solutions. It is all about putting your passion into action - which is his motto for 2012!
