These areas form the total Jaycee Concept. All are interdependent on one another. Projects and programs run in Community Development, Business Development, Individual Development, and International Involvement have been proven that both the community and the individual will benefit from the Jaycee Concept. Community Development focuses on service to the needs of our community .Projects in this area allows our members to become involved in , charities, environmental needs, youth, elderly, USJCC programs, and other events in the East Texas area. USJCC programs include: Community Service; Community Fund Raising; Government Involvement; and State and National Jaycee Involvement. Business Development focuses on running our chapter like a corporation. This area allows us to work with other people on projects while using our business/management planning skills (Chairman's Planning Guide). To aid in this the USJCC provides information to officers to give them the knowledge to run our local chapter. Our chapter uses "The Book" for local chapter presidents, chapter plan of action, parliamentary procedure and public relations materials. USJCC programs include: Public Relations; Financial Management; Chapter Activities; and Chapter Management. Individual Development focuses on training on today's most popular subjects, such as Personal Improvement, Leadership Skills, Communications Dynamics, Time Management and Stress Endurance. Our two most popular programs are Write-Up and Speak-Up. Competition is held each trimester at the State Convention/Conference. These programs give you the opportunity to polish your business writing skills and your public speaking skills. The winners at state competitions have the opportunity to compete nationally at the USJCC Annual Meeting in June. USJCC Pinnacles (programs) include: Leadership Development; Life Improvement; and Business Opportunities. Individual Development also focuses on orienting, networking and sharing the Jaycee experience. This area is the most important area because it focuses on you, the member. Through socials, recruiting, establishing new chapters, orientations, visitations to other chapters and other chapter activities you are offered the opportunity to grow, meet new people, and offer the Jaycee experience to your friends, neighbors and co-workers. International Involvement focuses on activities related to Junior Chamber International, World Congress and any other international event. This area gives the member an opportunity to learn about business and personal skills in other countries. .   Christmas Parade
