Mr. Jean-Simon Deschênes, a Business Law partner at Lavery, was recently appointed Bid Director for Quebec City’s bid as host city of the 2016 Junior Chamber International (JCI) World Congress. As such, he will be leading the Organizing Committee that will officially submit Quebec City’s candidacy to host the 2016 JCI World Congress.
If Quebec City were to win the bid, more than 3,500 young leaders from about 150 member countries would gather in the Capital during this congress. The mission of JCI is to represent the interests of young businesspeople by promoting entrepreneurship, leadership, management and training.
