Silvia Radu – the host of the First Evening with Entrepreneurs

The First Evening with Entrepreneurs took place on December 8, 2011 at the „Red Union Fenosa” Company. The participants had the unique and the fascinating opportunity to learn from the experience of a successful lady – Mrs. Silvia Radu, who is now the president of “Red Union Fenosa” – a company that has more than 1000 employees and generates sales that are bigger than the entire budget of our capital. During this meeting, the participants also made a trip through the entreprise, and had the opportunity to communicate with the employees and to compare the soviet dispatchers with the current management system of the company.

Alexandra Can – the director with 600 employees Mrs. Alexandra Can – the director of the leather goods factory „Artima” was also very receptive to our invitation. In a few years of directorate, Mrs. Alexandra brought the business

to it’s full capacity and paid back all the company’s debts; and now

she is proud for administrating a company that is one of the major

contributors to the budget of our country. She spoke to us with a lot

of dedication about the company, and about her career ascension:

from bookkeeper and public servant, to director of an enterprise

and Minister of Industry. Mrs Alexandra conquered us through it’s

simplicity, and with the pieces of advises she gave to us.

Evenings with Entrepreneurs "Evenings with Entrepreneurs" is a unique project, run by JCI Moldova exclusively for the young entrepreneurs - members of the organization. The project aims to create opportunities for JCI members to interact with successful entrepreneurs from Moldova.

Gheorghe Efros – the director of the company „ProEra” Mr. Georghe Efros – the director of the consulting and training company “ProEra”, was the third and the last entrepreneur with which JCI Chișinău members had interacted in the 2011 year. During this meeting, the participants addressed to Mr. Gheorghe many interesting questions from various topics, at which he answered with a lot of wisdom.

On JCI Active Citizen Day that what was celebrated throughout the world on December 11, JCI Chișinău (Moldova) in partnership with AIESEC Chișinău organised the NGO's Volleyball Cup. At this competition participated 7 most active NGO's of Moldova: The National Scout Association, BEST Chișinău (Board of European Students of Technology), JCI Moldova, MediaPoint, AIESEC Chișinău, LeaderShe and Proplus. The purpose of this competition was to promote the concept of active citizenship and among the participants collect a certain amount of money, that will be donated to an orphanage in Moldova. In this way we want to make the first steps in reaching the first UN Millennium Development Goal, which is - eradicating poverty in our country.

Active Citizens Day

Orientation Conference JCI Chișinău members participated at the First Conference organised by JCI Chișinău – the Orientation Conference. This Conference took place in Ukraine, Ivano – Frakivsk region, and lasted three days, 27-29 January. At this Conference, the members had part of 4 training sessions about JCI Identity (Mission, Vision, Values), JCI History and Structure, Active Citizenship and JCI Brand. Afterwards there was a session of discussions about JCI Moldova, during which the members shared their ideas, opinions and expectations. Living a healthy lifestyle, the members chose to spend their free time on the ski tracks, in search of new adventures and sensations. Finally, we can say that all the activities we had during the weekend managed to strengthen the JCI Chișinău team.

Christmas Party Songs of the ’90s, positive emotions, interactive games and contests – this is how

the Christmas Party can be described. The Party was organized on 24 December

only for the JCI members and their partners in one of the restaurants of the

capital.

In this relaxing atmosphere the members forgot about their everyday problems,

they sang, they danced, and they had a great time.
