Dear Jayceettes and Friends,
Happy New Year and welcome to 2025! It is an immense honor for me to serve as the President of JCI Hong Kong Jayceettes this year. As we embark on this exciting journey together, our theme, “WE Lead the Future,” will guide our initiatives and activities, empowering us to make a meaningful impact in our communities and beyond.
This year, we will focus on three major megatrends that are shaping our world and our future: Artificial Intelligence (AI), sustainability, and global dynamics. We believe that understanding and engaging with these trends will not only equip us with the necessary skills but also position us as leaders who can drive change.
Future Leaders Conference, 3-4 May
Mark your calendars for our Future Leaders Conference, taking place on May 3-4. This two-day event will delve deeply into the challenges and opportunities presented by AI, sustainability, and global dynamics. We will invite thought leaders and industry experts to share their insights, providing young leaders with the knowledge and tools to navigate these crucial topics. Together, we will explore how these trends will influence our lives in the next 5-10 years and how we can take proactive steps to lead the way.
AI-Can and SHE Sparks in AI 2025
“AI-Can. I CAN!” As part of our commitment to embracing AI, we will launch a series of training workshops aimed at upskilling our members. These sessions will empower you to effectively utilize AI tools in delivering our projects and impact.
Additionally, we are excited to introduce an incubation program designed to encourage young women to adopt AI technologies confidently. We have seen research that found out AI adoption rate for women is only ⅕ of men. By creating a safe environment for mutual support and learning, we aim to inspire the next generation of female leaders in tech, ensuring they are equipped to thrive in our increasingly digital world.
Sustainable Future
Sustainability is another key focus for us this year. We will anchor our sustainability initiatives around the four essential areas of daily life: clothing, food, housing, and transportation (衣食住行). By using relatable concepts, we hope to engage more members in sustainable practices. Throughout the year, we will organize projects that showcase innovative solutions and practical applications in these areas, making it easier for everyone to participate and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Global Dynamics Around Us
In our rapidly changing world, understanding global dynamics is essential. Over the past decade, we have seen a shift from globalization to de-globalization, presenting both challenges and opportunities. This year, we will explore these themes, discussing how we can navigate the complexities of our interconnected world. Engaging in dialogues and trips to Mainland China and overseas countries, we will examine how we can harness these changes to create positive outcomes for our communities and ourselves.
We will continue to host the flagship event Asia Pacficific Lady LOMS Convention.
In closing, I want to emphasize that “WE Lead the Future” is not just a theme; it is a call to action. Together, we have the power to make a lasting impact. I encourage each of you to actively participate in our initiatives, share your ideas, and support one another as we strive to become leaders in our communities.
I am truly excited about the year ahead and look forward to working alongside each of you. Let’s embrace the challenges and opportunities that 2025 has in store and lead the future together!
Warm regards,
President Rycho
JCI Hong Kong Jayceettes
