AIESEC International Transition Weekend

Hey everyone,
the MC is back in the office, busy with national support team applications, matching of the interns that are starting to work for PwC in September, preparing materials for your PBoXes, closing the bookkeeping of last year and working on our next conference (Input, 26-30 September in Cordoba!!!!!) and the CEED program, in short making sure we'll achieve the ambitious goals that we set for ourselves.
But what happened in Rotterdam you ask? As you know it was the weekend to celebrate the work of the team from 06-07 and to welcome team 07-08. We've had a good share of partying of course but we've also had transition by AIESEC International, concerning their priorities for the term 07-08 and the new Information System for example. For us it was extremely interesting to get some first-hand information from them as well as to network with the other countries that were present. We've also had some sessions with the people from the SSGN board, talking about AXLDS (which has a new name!!!! ;-))), Ser Más and how we can participate in these GN initiatives. All of us met with our VPs on AIESEC International to ask some questions we had or get some feedback, for example on our recruitment posters.

If you've been asking yourself who the SSGN Board is, here they are:
from left to right: Asier (Spain/US/Jordan) -
Corporate Social Responsibility and Business Entrepreneurship Project Manager, Aleja (Colombia) - Social Entrepreneurship Project Manager, Juan (Costa Rica/China) - SSGN Director, Cindy (Mexico) - Non-corporate Manager, Toni (Spain) - SSGN Chair

Get Started!!!

There's just not enough time right now to tell you about our first conference for AIESEC in Spain because our beloved delegates are enjoying themselves in a bar right now and we just want to go there and join them!!!
Just some info on the pictures, first one: the responsible for (include "the guy who's part of the economics agency of the community of Madrid that supports entrepreneurs "MadridEmprende" whose title I can't remember" here, sorry :-))) talked to us about how important it is that young people develop the entrepreneurial characteristics. They let us have sessions in their rooms, which we're extremely thankful for! The rest of the pictures include roll calls, parts of the OC and parts of the sessions we had during today and yesterday. Tomorrow we're having closing the conference at 2pm, and we'll for sure put our impressions of our first conference down here, don't worry :-)
now let's go party! (we've worked hard enough and deserve it ;-)))

Planning Week!!!

crazy crazy crazyness! all the plans we created last week are now starting to be executed, the office is humming with activity, phone calls, meetings, chats, and we're all excited to have our first conference next week. Here are some pictures from our Planning that we did in Toni's parents' house. They were great hosts, letting us use all the fresh vegetables from their garden so that the girls in the team could live out their passion for cooking, and so that we had the necessary energy for all the work. The guys also cooked, but their diet is more proteine-based as you can see from the barbecue picture :-)
We're looking forward to present our team vision next week and to welcome all the delegates that will join us in Madrid!!!
