Conferences - a great investment :)

Hey members.

Are you interested in great pictures from an international conference?

I have uploaded the pictures from IPM in Egypt - and I want to share that with you all. I hope it will motivate you and inspire you to look at conferences as an investment - Not money being spent. :)

Here you can find them.

Enjoy

Thanks for the year - looking forward to the next one!

It's weird how fast times flies.

It's already 7 days in my second MCP term and I feel good about how AIESEC in Iceland is developing.

I want to write here a little about my experience so far, my team mates the term 0607 and my vision for AIESEC in Iceland.

I started my term not knowing really what to do and how to run the organization. I was feeling excited but also a little nervous. I had one team mate with me - svetla - and she and I started to do what needed to be done.
After the time passed I got more confident, going to meetings, talking to companies and students, planning and executing conferences and attend international conferences.
It was a great time.
Ali came to Iceland in beginning of August and then recruitment started to have some picture.
My team mates gave me big support when I needed it, they really loved what they were doing and that motivated me during the year.
When I decieded to apply again as MCP my thoughts were about the future, what I want to see for AIESEC in Iceland and what I still want to learn as a person that AIESEC in Iceland would be able to give me.
I'm very pleased to be the MCP for 2 years in a row and I feel I am growing as a person with every task I take, every student I speak to and every result I get. And that's what AIESEC is all about.

I hope you will also experience this amazing feeling, to tell people you are the president of an international organization based in Iceland, that you are a leader and people trust you to lead them to possitive development.
I wish for AIESEC in Iceland to be more organized, for us to deliver what we promise and that our members will get the experience they are looking for and that's why they joined AIESEC.

It's up to us to make sure we do our best to learn, experience and grow and let's make sure all members of AIESEC in Iceland do the same.
I have high hopes for us... and we are the right people to make that happen.

To end this I want to say this:
Ali and Svetla. Thanks for all your support, fun times and challenges we went through as a team. You challenged my thoughts and my believes and I feel I came out of this team work a stronger person then when I joined the team - I hope the same thing for you. All the best in your future tasks and let's stay in touch.
