Business Development
Embodies the line of the Jaycees 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 wellbeing for all nations. There are four commissions which encompass this area of development they are: Marketing and Public Relations, Strategic Planning, Financial Management and Business Opportunities.

Individual Development
Embodies 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 not specifically covered by another Area would be included here. The Individual Area of Opportunity through its four Commissions ensures that new members are brought into the organization and are provided with training to fully develop their personal and professional potential. These four areas are Personal Development, Professional Development, Membership growth, retention and new chapter extension along with Chapter Activities.

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 peoples. 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 is done through the Commissions of International Involvement.

Community Development
