Monaco’s Junior Chamber International (JCI) proudly announced that its long-time member Kevin Hin was elected 2018 JCI Executive Vice-President for Europe during the JCI World Congress 2017 in Amsterdam.
Since its establishment in 1963, none of the Monaco Junior Chamber of Commerce members has ever occupied such a position on an international level. This appointment places Mr Hin as Number Two on the JCI Executive Committee, just behind Brian Lim from JCI Philippines, World President of the organisation for 2018.
A polyglot and restless traveller, Mr Hin, has all the characteristics to fit this task. Born in London and raised in Monaco, the 38-year-old went to the exclusive FANB middle school and the Franciscans high school, a schooling that permitted him to learn French at an early age, and even the Monegasque language. He went back to England to obtain a Masters in International Finance from the London School of Economics.
Thanks to his multicultural background, Kevin is open-minded, passionate as a traveller and deeply attached to traditions. That’s why after finishing his studies, in 1989, he decided to settle back in Monaco to serve his beloved country.
Mr Hin works as Commercial Assistant for the Monegasque jeweller AMP Monaco and is in charge of APM’s commercial development in Germany, Austria, Central and Oriental Europe.
Since he entered JCI Monaco in 2003, Kevin Hin has dedicated his time and energy to the movement. He has been elected National President in 2010 and Senator for life after having organised, with his team, the JCI World Conference in Monaco. He has already represented Monaco on an international level by serving as JCI Vice-President for eight European countries in 2016.
The JCI counts 160.000 members in 120 countries and aims is to develop entrepreneurship and young leaders’ abilities to impact our societies positively.
As Executive President for JCI Europe, Mr Hin will be in charge of 30.000 members in 32 countries. He will also Preside at the European Conference that will take place in Riga in June 2018 and the President’s reunion in Zagreb in February 2018.

The Africa Eco Race from Monaco to Dakar departed Saturday morning at 11 am from Quai Antoine 1er.
From December 31 to January 14, competitors driving motorcycles, cars, trucks and 4x4s – and an experimental category for hybrid vehicles – will cross Morocco, Mauritania and Senegal. The off-road race covers a total of 6,054 kilometres, of which 3,812 are total leg kilometres, with the 12th stage and final 292 kilometres from Saint Louis to Lac Rose in Dakar.
The eco-responsible event includes assistance vehicles equipped with photovoltaic panels and, in 2015 (and this year also), team Kamaz Master entered a gas-hybrid truck “to prove that natural gas can be used as fuel”.
Discussing the course, Sports Director Rene Metge, said, “The Morocco leg will be challenging and you will have to remain focused to not throw away any chances of shining during the second week in Mauritania, which will be filled with its bunch of difficulties.” He added that racers will experience unforgettable scenery.
Race director and Azurean, Jean-Louis Schlesser, commented: "The African economy is promoted by local providers, and the route is defined in close collaboration with the countries authorities to avoid protected areas, such as national parks.”
There is also a humanitarian element to the race as participants collect school supplies (notebooks, colour pencils, books etc) and toys – even tennis balls – which are transported by race participants and organisers to various villages and schools of the Meoni Foundation en route.
Earlier in the year at a press conference, Mr Schelesser stated, “I would first like to thank Kate and Didier, the owners of Stars'n'Bars, for their invaluable support in organizing the start of the 2016 Africa Eco Race from Monaco. I also want to say thank you to all of the Principality of Monaco for having allowed the race to start from the Rock.”
Slovakian model (and former Guinness record holder for the longest legs for a female model at nearly 1.24 metres) Adriana Karembeu is a “lover of the African continent and supporting humanitarian projects”. The Monaco resident will be on hand for the official start.
From 10 am, Stars’n’Bars will be serving a buffet breakfast. The official rally shop in the port is also open to the public.
Long-time Monaco residents, Steven and Penny Gale of Gale Force, will be competing as Team 360. Follow their journey live at www.africarace-live.com/en/
