Dear AIESECer, It is with great humility and honor that I share with you some of my thoughts and ques-tions about the common purpose that binds us all together, AIESEC. Let us experience the Power of NOW!

Foreword: THE POWER OF NOW 3rd edition |

April 2009

Every member every day

WE need to question ourselves whether every member is living a unique AIESEC Experience every day. Our membership is our greatest strength and AIESEC as an organiza-tion can only realize its true potential if every member of the organization is engaged and contributing to the or-ganizational success, every day! NOW!

Ambition

Are WE being ambitious enough is a question I find myself seeking an answer to ever so often? What defines our potential? And who defines that for us? I see over a billion young people in the world and over 35000 of them are in AIESEC. I see hundreds and thousands of organizations worldwide and a few thousand that work with AIESEC. I see our presence in over 100 countries and territories and we’ve only begun to scratch the surface. I see the greatest financial crisis in decades and I see a world that is looking at us for strong ethical leadership. I see opportunity! NOW!

Responsibility

WE as members of AIESEC today have the responsi-bility to not only achieve 2010 but also inspire the organization to strive for greater glory after 2010. We are doing incredible things, but we have a long road to go to become Great. We have steep heights to scale, to be the ones who say that 2010 was never a dream, it is the vision that now stands fulfilled. It has fallen on our generation to be great. After 6 years in AIESEC I am more convinced than ever before about the power of AIESEC and the ability of our member-ship to be this great generation. This is the challenge in front of us. We can either de-cide to continue living in the past and hoping for suc-cess in the future or we can work as one global or-ganization, every part of it, and take this challenge head on. NOW!

2010

Are WE really emotionally connected to the 2010 vision? We are getting closer to achieving the goals and I am con-vinced that we can and we will achieve the goals. Doing more of what we have been doing for years will only get us closer to the destination but not to the destination itself. We need to realize that our external environment has changed and this change needs to be reflected in our ac-tions. Decision‐making process in AIESEC needs to be faster so we can timely capitalize on external trends. The 2010 vision is not the future; it is what we are creating to-day. Often I met people through the course of experiences who were futuristic, who would talk about how we would one day turn around things, how one day we would be able to create an impact; I always thought otherwise, I believe that the future that we always dream about is NOW!

- to all the EB elects that took the challenge to create the next AIESEC Denmark year! Good luck with

Congratulations to AIESEC CBS and AIESEC SDU for keeping up the upward trend and con-

tributing to the organizational results.

Current quarter has been the worst compared to the last two. Despite some efforts none

of the LC has been able to achieve any substantial result.

The current exchange pipeline look quite poor, with no matches on the system to be real-

ized in next quarter.

With poor results from AAU, UNI and ASB, it is most likely that we fall short of our annual

X targets.

The MC 0809 DO Bees want to thank

you for a wonderful conference, FOR-

TIUS 2009!!!

Thank you Jonas (Chair), Faci, OC &

OCP, Conference Manager, LCP’s, EB’s,

Alumni, members, all delegates for all

that you’ve put into the conference in

order to make it a success!!!!

There's little to be said about FORTIUS for the ones who were there and too much for the ones who were not. For

me as a conference manager and for my MC team, FORTIUS was a dream come true. It was a successful conference

not only through the sessions delivered, externals present, alumni involvement and extremely quality oriented and

hard working OC, but also thanks to the delegate spirit and involvement. Without them, all the work put in by the

other parties would have been in vain, so it's them I want to thank for making this such an amazing conference, spar-

kling of passion, enthusiasm, sugar, spice and all things nice! :)

Letzu, FORTIUS 2009 conference manager

Exchange Statistics

AIESEC Denmark Q1 Exchange Performance: Continuing the growth trend from last two quarter, we reg-

istered a growth of 37% in Q1 2009, compared to the same quar-

ter last year.

However despite the efforts LC’s haven’t seen a consider-

able amount of result.

The overall performance at the Local level in terms of num-

ber raises has been quite poor and way below the average.

Though we have already achieved a 35% growth compared

to last year with one full quarter to go, there still a lot of room

for improvement both at the National and Local level.

The increasing alumni involvement at the local level is quite

promising and expects to bring in some good results in near future.

AIESEC Structure

AIESEC is an organization present in 107 countries and territories. Each country has a certain number of Local Committees

(LC). Each LC has an Executive Board (EB) composed of a president (LCP) and vice presidents (LCVP).

The LC’s are coordinates nationally by the member committee (MC), with the same structure: president (MCP) and vice

presidents (MCVP).

So, there are 107 MC’s and MCP’s in AIESEC globally.

All this countries are internationally coordinated by a team called AIESEC International team, composed of the president of

AIESEC International (PAI) and vice presidents (AIVP).

To be able to be more relevant, the countries around the Globe were grouped in regions with similar external environment

and internal reality in order to be able to create more specific and region-based strategies. These regions are called Growth

Networks (GN) and they are: Africa, Asia -Pacific (AP), Central and Easter Europe (CEE), Ibero America (IGN), Middle

East and North Africa (MENA) and Western Europe and North America (WENA). Each GN has a Director, part of the AI

team, that is the small region president, responsible (together with the MCP’s) for the GN strategy creation and implemen-

tation.

Denmark is part of WENA GN!

There are two big international conferences

where all 107 countries meet:

1. In January each year, International Presidents

Meeting (IPM) takes place. All the MCP’s partici-

pate to this forum in which: the new AI team is

elected, the Global Plan is created and knowledge

for the new MCP’s is delivered by the current AI

team.

2. In August we have International Congress (IC),

the biggest AIESEC Conference each year. Here

the MC’s and the LCP’s get together to create the

global strategies and to establish country partner-

ships. Also, the new AI team takes over and knowledge is delivered to the new MC’s and LCP’s.

This year (2009), your current MCP, Abhijit and your elect MCP, Teodora, took part in IPM in Rome, Italy. Here, Denmark

represented by them, voted for the new PAI and also gave the confidence vote for the Director’s candidates.

Also, they took part in the creation of the International Priorities for AIESEC 0910, the new strategic map, and also estab-

lished the WENA GN focus areas.

As IPM is an international legislative forum, the new budget for the AI team 0910 was approved, new expansion initiatives

were voted for (Mozambique, Saudi Arabia and Mongolia) and also the changes in the International Compendium and regu-

lations were made.

Another thing that hap-

pened was the launch of

the new communication

strategy: AIESEC new

website, AIESEC launch

on Facebook, YouTube,

Twitter and Flickr. Check

the “Telling the story 2.0”

wiki and aiesec.org for

more details!

IC 2009 will happen in

Malaysia, and AIESEC

Denmark is allowed to

send 5 delegates to the conference (MC members or LCP’s). If you want to go, let me know!

For any questions regarding IPM or IC or global news, contact me!

Dare to DREAM!

Teodora,

current MCVP F&IM and elect MCP AIESEC Denmark
