Winston solicitor to attend JCI European Academy

A Leeds solicitor has been chosen as one of four delegates from Junior Chamber International (JCI) to attend its prestigious European Academy in Gothenburg, Sweden later this year.

Anil Champaneri, an employment solicitor at Winston Solicitors of Roundhay, is currently the deputy president of JCI Leeds; one of the largest junior chambers in the UK. He was also voted its best new member in 2008 and won the best council director award for his work with the chamber last year.

JCI is a worldwide network of young leaders and entrepreneurs with over 250,000 members in over 100 countries. Past members include Kofi Annan, Bill Clinton and Bill Gates.

Anil said: “I am delighted to be attending the 14th European Academy as part of my preparation to be president of JCI Leeds in 2011. It will be a fantastic opportunity to gain invaluable training and meet fellow JCI members from across Europe”.

The JCI European Academy is a four day training course which aims to increase the understanding and cooperation between future leaders of JCI from different countries by creating a forum of representatives from all over Europe where an exchange of experiences, knowledge, culture and values can take place.
