Better Know a Sponsor: The Charlotte Junior Chamber (Jaycees)

Today’s leaders collaborate, inspire and inform using creative formats and new media tools. As Charlotte’s premier young professional leadership development organization, the Charlotte Junior Chamber is excited to support Ignite Charlotte, a local event that draws such a diverse group of people and passions together for mutual enlightenment. . . and a lot of fun!

Charlotte Junior Chamber

Charlotte Junior Chamber members value the opportunity to learn, develop relationships and give back to the community through strategic training events and philanthropic efforts. They are not only promoting the attendance of the Ignite Charlotte event, but will also help coordinate logistics onsite.  In addition, the Charlotte Junior Chamber will offer support to members who aspire to be Ignite speakers.

With a long history of business, individual, community and international development, going back to 1929, the Charlotte Junior Chamber chapter continuously seeks out new ways to stay on the cutting edge as a resource to the community.  2011 President, David Hoffman says, “It is by recognizing the needs and passions of our generation that today’s business and community leaders will draw out the skills and efforts needed to help make Charlotte continually known as a premier city of growth and vision. We commend the Ignite Charlotte team for bringing this international phenomenon to our city and look forward to participating in its success.”

And we’re excited to have the Charlotte Junior Chamber as part of our team!

The Marketplace for Ideas is not so common place as it once was. As political correctness fills the airwaves, and sensible argument and conversation now thrives outside popular circles (and TV networks), people who desire spreading, learning and hearing good and new ideas have to search hard for an outlet.

The Charlotte Agency believes that Ignite Charlotte provides such an outlet. And that’s why we’re thrilled to do a second tour as part of the Ignite Charlotte Committee.

Ideas are awesome. Good ideas are even better. For Ignite Charlotte to champion intelligent conversation on a local stage, we think, is fantastic. Where else can community members get 5 minutes of totally un-interrupted time to tell their community about an idea or passion they hold dear?

No seriously…where else? We’d like to know if they’re others. But we doubt it.

As a marketing agency, or advertising shop – whatever you’d like to call us – The Charlotte Agency is dedicated to two things: 1) To take the boring out of advertising in Charlotte, and 2) Help the Charlotte community build upon itself so it can finally overtake Raleigh, Atlanta, and Jacksonville as a business destination.

We can’t do either of those without good ideas, and people willing to hear them.

The only bad idea is thinking that your idea shouldn’t be heard. Come to Ignite Charlotte 2, and be enlightened. Come to Ignite Charlotte 2 and mingle with professionals who have the same drive as you do. Come to Ignite Charlotte 2 to see what all the noise is about, and how you can add to it.

Thank you JDW: The Charlotte Agency for coming back as a sponsor!
