45 years of friendship and meetings

45 years of bringing service to the Monegasque community (or the Principality)

To believe in a crazy project such as No Finish Line and what’s more, to see that Philippe Verdier’s idea is still alive and kicking today.’

Philippe ZUNINO – President (1999)

That is what ‘makes JCI Monaco successful: being able to be part of the history and development of Monaco, to be able to create events that we wouldn’t be able to do on our own, JCI  Monaco provides excellent support to be able to take good initiative and see you idea executed...’

It is thanks to JCI Monaco’s reach that someone asked me to join.  I was able to ‘rub elbows with people who have contributed to this country’s harmonious development, and it was a real pleasure’.

Philippe VERDIER – President (2002)

45 years of international recognition

The organisation of the European Conference in Monaco in 1998 was the most beautiful experience, hands down: ‘Years of preparation with the team made up of Alain Pallanca, Gérard Ravera, Robert Chanas and Henri Agnelly, people to manage, conflicts too, but such an immense pleasure to welcome 2,700 people to the Principality...’
‘It is interesting to think that the theme of the Conference was ‘Global Responsibility for Sustainable Development’. That idea has really progressed!’
