Hi and welcome, here are the slides from the presentation I, Sofie Sandell did in Belgium for JCI Vlaanderen in January 2015.
I was JCI London’s president in 2008 and in that year we grow the chamber from 30 to 75 members.
I’m happy to share these insights for other membership based organisations and I’m planning to put together the content into an online course as well. Get in touch with me for more information sofie@sofiesandell.com

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Hi and welcome, here are the slides from the
presentation I, Sofie Sandell did in Belgium for JCI
Vlaanderen in January 2015.
I was JCI London’s president in 2008 and in that
year we grow the chamber from 30 to 75 members.
I’m happy to share these insights for other
membership based organisations and I’m planning
to put together the content into an online course as
well. Get in touch with me for more information

4. Brand promise
When JCI London keeps it brand promise with the
kind of events our members want - both small and
big, interesting projects and clear communication
about all opportunities the members stays.
When the brand promise is lost members leave.
Over the last 7 years:
- lowest numbers of members 30
- highest number 150 members
- currently JCI London has 100 members
5. The never ending story
All membership based organisation around the world have
the same kind of issues:
• They want more members
• They want more engaged members
• They want members to stay longer
• And they want to build better relationships with their
sponsors and partners.
Do you agree?
6. My year 2008
• The chamber started out with little confidence - was
JCI London really needed in the London community?
• Small chamber and big history
• Awful website…
• We did events for ourselves
• London - very busy place - hundreds of events every
day. Risk JCI being totally invisible…
• The digital change - social media started to grow
• My motto: leaders do things first
• Leadership, inspiration, energy & courage!
7. Here are two slides from my inauguration
presentation January 2008.
8.
9. We wrote down all directors plans and objectives
into one document in the beginning of the year.
Writing down your objectives and sharing them
with the rest of your team creates a good energy.
10. This is the JCI London’s business plan that all
directors, and I as the president wrote 2008."
"
All goals were reached and we won 9 awards that year.
11.
12. Communication
Telling your members about all opportunities is key
for a chamber to grow.
Email addresses = valuable currency
Never abuse emails or be too salesy in your email
marketing. Use a professional email system as
Constant Contact or Mailchimp.
Make all your council members visible on your
website and social media. Your members and
potential members want to see who they are.
14. The skier"
!
Knows all the JCI sloped and
lifts, skis fast and alone. Is
very well connected but
never contributes to it’s local
organisations growth. Knows
the organisation in and out,
but rarely share the
knowledge in a way to
engage more members.
!
Often seen climbing the
international career ladder
and goes to plenty of
international conferences.
15. The beach party organiser "
!
This kind of leader is great at
getting people into the room.
Bums on seats count the most
for them.
!
After getting hundreds of
people into the room nothing
happens… there are very little
activity and no follow up.
!
No personal connection are
made and people remain a
number.
16. Delegating organisers "
!
The most productive leaders
in membership organisations
are actively sharing
knowledge and delegate
tasks to several teams.
!
This creates a strong sense of
belonging and active
members.
!
Active members will stay
longer and give their time and
energy to your organisation.
The image is from the book: ‘How organisations develop activists’
17. Commitment and Contribution
• Community gives energy
• Contribution make you feel important and
connected
• A volunteer organisation is built on something
else than a corporate organisation
• We want to be part of something bigger that gives
us belonging and identity.
18. Why people leave?
• Lack of value from the membership
• Lack of relevance in the information provided
• Lack of time
• Changed job
• Other reasons!
19. Many people will rejoin
• Do you have a strategy to get people to rejoin?
• Can you provide more resources?
• More relevant events?
• Can you share your resources online?
• Better networking opportunities?
20. Why people stay
We want to network, share ideas, go to event, develop our
knowledge, and socialise.
• Friendship
• Personal development
• Travel to international events
• Commitment to projects
• JCI becomes part of your identity
• JCI has many strong leaders without big egos.
21. Different kind of members
1) Lifelong learners (not only focused on their profession)
2) Information consumers - always learning about whatever through
books, seminars, online courses…
3) Continual professional development members.
4) Aspiring leaders and thought leaders. Raising their profile in their
industry and community from their membership and involvement.
5) The networkers and connectors
6) The CV members - JCI looks great!
7) The activists, mission and purpose members. They LOVE JCI.
8) Happy to pay but don’t want to be involved members
9) Money savers - want the discount on JCI courses and
conferences.
10) You “should” join members. Told by others they should join.
22. Metaphors for JCI chambers
• Rich chamber…
• Needy, we need your help
• Poor, no financial resources
• Fluffy? No identity
• Superior and exclusive
• Forward thinking
—> Are you clearly telling your members what you
need them to do?
23. Here are the tricks we used to make the chamber
grow.
This was used for an open discussion with me, the
speaker and the audience. It makes more sense
discussing…
