The JCI Regatta Story

JCI Regatta traces its roots back to the humble beginnings at Santa Maria Parish Church, where its founders laid the groundwork for establishing the local organization.
2009 National President Fulbert Woo, 2009 JCI Iloilo President Rex Chua, and JCI Regatta Charter President Elmer Usi invited the members of the Santa Maria Parish and their network of young individuals to join JCI Regatta.
The pioneer members of JCI Regatta had their new member orientation on March 23, 2009. The Lead Trainer for New Members Orientation was Coach Gleendo Damariñas. It was sponsored by JCI Iloilo led by 2009 NP Fulbert Woo, 2009 RVP Joemari Moriente, 2009 LO President Rex Chua and then VP Franjieh Eon Angelo Tiu.
The Local Organization was formally established on March 30, 2009 on the induction of its members. 2009 JCI President Jun Sup Shin of JCI Korea was the inducting officer. The Board of Directors were formally inducted to office on May 24, 2009.

The culture and vision of excellence of President Elmer Usi was brought to JCI Regatta when established the chapter in 2009.
