AIESEC in Iceland held their fourth Drive
conference 18-20 of May 2012, where members gathered together in a small
town called Borgarnes. The event team planned the conference and the MC´s took
care of the agenda. Due to the fantastic job of these members and awesome guest
that came, the conference turned out extremely well.
On the conference several topics where discussed e.g. AIESEC’s role in
the community, the AIESEC experience that members can gain from the four
programs that are offered (TMP, TLP, GIP and GCDP) and then ideas where put
forward on how to improve members experience. New laws where agreed upon.
Importance of understanding cultural diversity and world issues where discussed
and members took a short personality test (the one with four colors) and got to
know one another better. The members were also thought the basics in project
management that can be beneficial in their work.
Election for two position took place, and also awards were given for good
performance or being outstanding in anyway. Linda Björk Bjarnardóttir was
elected LCP (Local Committee President)
and Snorri Guðjónsson got confidence from
the members to work as Vice President of IGX (Incoming exchange). Later this week, we will know if Snorri will be
doing that job the winter of 2012-2013.
