The theme of this years' Convention was 'Diversity into Action' was held in Willemstad, Curacao by one the local chapters, JCI Willemstad, where the young leaders got together to elect the new of board directors and discuss issues and strategies for the upcoming calendar year, slated to start in January. During the event, the members engage in networking, trainings, service to humanity and socializing.

The members, who also believe that they are individually responsible for better communities, took some time from their busy agenda, to execute their fair share of community work in the district of Wishi/ Marchena. While one group was busy cleaning up a neglected sport facility of the district, another hosted a campaign at a nearby community center on the topic diabetes that was also assisted and attended by some key physicians in Curacao. With this initiative the young leaders encourage the leaders of all the countries of the Dutch Caribbean not only to sit at the round table and talk, but also get out and be active, put your passion into action. The project was hosted by members of Aruba, Curacao and St. Maarten.
