Hey AIESEC! Thank you for showing interest in being the President of the Organising Committee for the National Planning Meeting and Accelerate. We are very excited to open this position for a remarkable individual to step up and lead a team to deliver the best conferences we’ve seen to date. That being said, this is not a mere position you are applying for. The role has been designed to challenge you, to make you think out of the box, to give you the freedom to run your own projects, to lead a team in your own style, implement your own ideas, and to develop you personally.
Your role will be difficult. It will require you to be at the top of your game at all times, will stress you out, and will occasionally frustrate you. This will not necessarily be an easy ride. But the rewards of this experience will be more than worth the obstacles. You will have the chance to learn new skills, understand your competencies, work with different personalities and individuals, and have the freedom to make your ideas a reality. If you’re up for a challenge, if you’re up to step outside your comfort zone, if you’re up to help implement ideas and processes that will make your entity greater, do not hesitate to apply. We are all excited to see which ones of you step up to the plate.
Good luck! MC 961 AIESEC in Lebanon
