When young men from the United States began the Junior Chamber movement more than 80 years ago, the ideas behind the Jaycees, as they later became known, were so new and exciting that by the 1940s, other countries wanted to take part. Thus, the good ideas of a few young men resulted in the formation of The U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce, which gave birth to the international movement. The friendship and partnership that resulted meant significant gains for both organizations. Raul Garcia Vidal from Mexico was elected as the first international President and Junior Chamber International was born. In February 1946, the first World Congress was held in Panama City, Panama, attended by 44 delegates from 16 countries.
