Afshana Rahman has been elected as the new local president of Junior Chamber International (JCI) Dhaka Founders for 2026.

She succeeds SM Mehedi Hassan, who successfully completed his term as the chapter's president in 2025, according to a press release.

Rifatul Haque, Md Nafiul Hasan, and Saiful Rahman were elected as vice-presidents at the chapter's general assembly held at BRAC Centre Inn in Dhaka recently.

JCI Dhaka Founders is a prominent local chapter of Junior Chamber International, a global leadership network for individuals aged 18 to 40. The chapter focuses on leadership development, social responsibility, and community impact initiatives in Bangladesh, and has become one of the most admired chapters within just a few years of its establishment.

Expressing her appreciation, Afshana said, "JCI Dhaka Founders has always stood out for its culture of teamwork and strong leadership, bringing together entrepreneurs and professionals from diverse industries."

She added, "The achievements of our past presidents set a remarkable benchmark for us. In 2026, our focus will be on empowering members, building leadership capacity, and executing meaningful, high-impact projects for the community."
