The 2015 Chapter Plan Template
Notes, Tips & Tricks Regarding How To Use This Template:

This Template was modified in Microsoft Word 2010. There may be formatting differences if you open and modify the
document in an earlier version of the program.

There is no formatting requirement for a Chapter Plan to be submitted for Civic Leadership Certification (CLC). You
can set up your Chapter Plan any way that you wish that works for you and your chapter. The template is provided to give you
a starting point and a tool to assist you in clearly planning your Jaycee year. It also takes in to consideration current CLC
requirements.

I suggest you print the Notes, Tips & Tricks Page prior to working on the template so page numbering will be correct for you.

Changes made from the 2013 Template:
o
o
o
o
o
Added a checklist on the cover to keep track of which submission you are turning in. If you do not want it
or like it, just delete the table that contains the information. The checklist indicates the color of each
evaluation to serve as a key for the rest of the document.
An Organizational Chart Template has been added to meet the CLC Requirements. The chart was created
using “Smart Art” in Word 2010. There are many ways to create and set up an organizational chart. The
provided chart is just an example. You may modify it or replace it to fit your needs.
Inserted the 2014 Illinois Jaycees-approved State Calendar and due dates.
Various small formatting changes and corrections to typos.
Added “Optional Attachments” list to the Attachments Page.

If you choose to use the Table of Contents, do not forget to modify it after each revision. The Plan tends to grow in the
quantity of pages over the time you modify and review the template. Keep the information correct by revising the Table of
Contents LAST. Don’t forget to delete these notes PRIOR to inserting page numbers. Deleting this page will automatically number the
document correctly in the Footer. If you forget to do this, and put in page numbers, then your Table of Contents will be
wrong by a page.

The list of Optional Attachments has been added as suggestions. The suggestions are provided for numerous reasons:
o
o
o
o
o
If you want to provide proof of certain CLC requirements.
The Chapter Plan is a document of the Organization. It can be proof to your chapter and historical records
that will be filed with the Plan in your Chapter’s Archives.
There is nothing wrong with providing back up, though it is not required.
In submitting year-end Books, if you keep these items with your Chapter Plan, it makes it very easy to have
them ready to go for your submissions.
Several items suggest providing screen shots. In newer versions of Microsoft Windows, there is a “Clipping”
tool you can use. If you have an older version that does not have “Clipping”, you can download a freeware
called Screenhunter, do a Google search for it. It is a free screen shot capturing program.

The provided Chapter Budget does not have to be used. It is suggested that you input or cut/paste the form your chapter uses
into this document. Many chapters use several different programs to create their chapter budget. This is just a suggestion of
how your budget may look. Do not forget: INCOME AND EXPENSES SHOULD BE EQUAL!

Always review your Plan prior to submission in its entirety. You should spend several different sessions putting a document
like this together and do not work straight through it. You want to make sure that you did not forget to go back to something
that was not completed.

Run spell check!
Have fun putting your Chapter Plan together and involving your Chapter members and Board of
Directors. It is a rewarding experience. If updated regularly, it will help you succeed in reaching your
goals and run a well-rounded Jaycee Chapter! If you have any questions, please contact Program
Development Vice President Vanessa Birchler at vanessa.birchler@iljaycees.org. Good luck!

TEMPLATE NOTE: This chart was created using Smart Art in MS Word 2010. There are many ways to create
this chart. If you cannot use Smart Art, insert a Chart from PowerPoint, or Excel, or any other program. You can
create a similar chart by using “Shapes” from the Illustrations menu in Word (or Drawing menu in older versions
of Word.)
The Chart above is shown for an Internal and External VP Set up, and shows what Areas are under each. It also
shows a space for inserting Chairman’s names for major projects that you may have. (For large projects like a
Festival or Haunted House, if it holds that much importance in your Chapter.) These can be deleted. You can set
this up also in the traditional format of having the VP Position for each Area rather than for Internal and External
VPs.
Each Chapter is different so this chart may not fit your particular Chapter Hierarchy.

1) Business / Economic Area of Opportunity
Embodying the line of the Jaycee Creed that states, "Economic justice can best be won by free men
through free enterprise," this area provides an opportunity for individual members to contribute to the
development and enhancement of the economic infrastructure, prosperity, and well being for all nations.
Almost all members of the Junior Chamber are involved in some business activity - working on their own,
for another company, or preparing to open their own business. The Junior Chamber was established in
1920 to give young people an active voice in the business community. This same purpose is now found in
the Business / Economic Area of Opportunity and is divided into four areas:
• Marketing and Public Relations. Projects in this Commission are conducted to promote the image of
your chapter and the Junior Chamber movement in the community. Some examples are brochures,
business cards, television appearances, chapter marketing via local print media, radio PR efforts, press
releases, external awards programs such as Distinguished Service Awards or Business Sponsor Awards,
parades, pageants, newsletters, ongoing public relations work and training in marketing and public
relations.
• Strategic Planning. This includes all projects involving record keeping, reporting, planning, needs
analysis and evaluation. Examples include developing Project Management Guides, creating, reviewing
and revising a chapter business plan and any other short-term or long-term planning and evaluation.
Training in the above activities would also be included here.
• Financial Management. This Commission ensures that the chapter's finances are handled in a proper
way and looks for ways to enhance the financial stability of the chapter. Any project run with the primary
purpose of raising funds for the chapter would go here. This Commission also includes anything related
to completing a chapter audit, procuring insurance, and filing incorporation papers and taxes.
• Business Opportunities. Projects in this Commission give chapters the chance to enhance the
economics of the community by conducting projects to increase business productivity. Economic
progress can be achieved by partnering with the local Chamber of Commerce, organizing small
investment clubs, visiting successful companies to learn how they conduct their business, and by inviting
successful entrepreneurs to speak at monthly meetings. Junior Chambers can also conduct training
sessions on how to enhance company operations and promote free enterprise as the best way to achieve
economic justice.

2) Individual Area of Opportunity
Embodying the line of the Jaycee Creed that states, "Earth's great treasure lies in human personality," this
area provides an opportunity for individual members to realize their personal potential through training
programs.
While there is an Area of Opportunity for individual development, every single activity in the Junior
Chamber organization is oriented to develop the potential and skills of the individual member. Active
participation in activities in any of the Areas will give the member the opportunity to enhance his or her
potential. Training opportunities dedicated to the enhancement of a Jaycee member's personal
skill set (not related to official Jaycee responsibilities) and not specifically covered by another Area would
be included here.
The Individual Area of Opportunity, through its four areas, ensures that new members are brought into
the organization and are provided with training to fully develop their personal and professional potential:
• Personal Development. This Commission includes projects that improve the quality of life of the
membership. Such projects provide education that benefits members in both their personal and
professional lives. Examples include training in the areas of family values, spiritual development, hobbies,
retirement planning, time management, public speaking, communication skills, and the U.S. Jaycees
Competitions program.
• Professional Development. Projects aimed at developing members as leaders in their chapters and
professions are the focus of this Commission. Examples include leadership training, officer training, team
building, "How to motivate others" courses, and other managerial training.
• Membership Retention, Growth and New Chapters. This Commission ensures that new members
join the chapter regularly, receive proper orientation and are included in the chapter's activities
immediately after joining. Project examples include M-Nights, membership booths, recruiting incentives,
corporate sponsorships, assisting another chapter with membership recruitment, new member
orientations, establishing a new chapter and activation programs like Passport to Civic Leadership.
• Chapter Activities. This Commission ensures that members have the opportunity to participate in a
wide variety of social activities, and that chapter meetings are well planned and members have the
opportunity to participate in meeting procedures. Some examples include socials, chapter awards
programs, chapter meetings, sports, visitations, hosting region meetings, attendance at region meetings,
etc.

3) Community Area of Opportunity
Embodying the line of the Jaycee Creed that states, "Service to humanity is the best work of life," this area
develops the sensitivity of individual members to societal problems, and knowledge of community
dynamics in solving these problems, through actual experience. Like all citizens, Junior Chamber
members have a stake in the betterment of their communities.
The Community Area of Opportunity is built around four areas. Below are some basic concepts under
these four classifications:
• Community Service. This Commission involves projects that are designed to promote or improve the
quality of life for people in the community by working directly with people and through improvement of
resources or facilities in the community. This includes projects that deal directly with community needs
such as elderly assistance, mental health and retardation, and health and safety (i.e. Community Care Day,
senior citizens’ program, community food pantry). Projects dealing with properties, economic
development, energy and the environment would also be included here. Note: Youth projects would be
listed under the Children and Youth Commission (Community) and state, national and international
Junior Chamber priority projects would be under the State, National and International Junior Chamber
Involvement Commission (International).
• Community Fundraising. Projects in this Commission deal with the direct raising of funds for a
specific non-Jaycee program. This includes fundraising for local disaster or emergency assistance, healthrelated organizations, foundations and any organized community charities (i.e., Oktoberfest, Easter Seals,
March of Dimes).
• Government and Civic Involvement. Another aspect of this area would be the chapter's involvement
with the local, state, and national governmental process. These are projects that deal with all areas of
involvement with the local, state and national governmental process. Projects include town forums,
debates, "Get Out The Vote," advocacy issues, criminal justice projects, etc., as well as providing
assistance to other civic organizations in the community (i.e., voters registration, City Council meetings,
Police/Fireman Appreciation Picnic, coffee with town officials).
• Children and Youth. This Commission's responsibility is to promote and coordinate projects related
to children and youth. As the future of our community lies in the hands of today's young people, many
projects should be conducted to ensure that young people are well prepared to take the community
leadership roles in the years to come. Examples include youth sporting events, fingerprinting, building a
playground, holiday egg hunts, reading and other educational programs, etc. Note: Projects involving
children of non-Jaycees fall under this Commission. Family-related projects, where children of Jaycees are
involved with their Jaycee parents, may fall under the Personal Development Commission or Chapter
Activities Commission (Individual).

4) International Area of Opportunity
Embodying the line of the Jaycee Creed that states, "The brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty
of nations," this area provides an opportunity for individual members to contribute to the development of
goodwill, understanding, and cooperation among all people.
Programming in this area would encompass all projects and programs that enhance a member's
knowledge of different cultures and countries around the world. This includes the following two areas:
• State, National and International Junior Chamber Involvement. This Commission includes all
state, U.S. Jaycees, and JCI emphasis programs. Consult your state organization for a list of state
programs (Camp New Hope). Current nationwide chapter projects include: Outstanding Young Farmer
(OYF), Ten Outstanding Young Americans (TOYA), and Government Involvement. For a complete list
of National Partner programs for 2014, visit the U.S. Jaycees website at www.usjaycees.org. Examples of
JCI programs include JCI Training Courses (JCI Presenter, JCI Networking, JCI CSR), and JCI Business
Academy. Note: Chapter Twinning would be included under the International Involvement
Commission.
• International Involvement. Projects in this Commission include those that provide assistance or
promote understanding and communications between the chapter and people outside the United States.
Junior Chamber members recognize the fact that the present world problems can often be solved through
international collaboration, tolerance and friendship. Members put this belief into practice by
collaborating in joint worldwide projects. Examples include: JCI Nothing But Nets, food drives for other
countries, chapter Twinning, international guest speakers, etc.

Membership Plan
(Use this Membership Plan to help understand your membership recruiting needs. Once your needs are
identified then plan your calendar of events around those difficult months. For example: If you have a lot
of members due in the second quarter, then your chapter should be running a more programming this
quarter prior and during to help offset members lost. For example – Socials, Community Fundraisers,
Membership Drives, Networking Events, etc. Plan your calendar of events based off of this Membership
Plan of Action.)
HOW TO USE THE MEMBERSHIP TABLE/SPREADSHEET:
