December 5, 2012. Ljubljana, Slovenia. To AIESEC in Mexico, I am delighted to endorse Aldo Perez Varela for the position of Member Committee President of AIESEC Mexico for the term 2013-2014. I met Aldo back in 2010 when I got into AIESEC, I was a TM member and he was part of the Executive Board in AIESEC ITAM. After coming back from my summer internship in the same year Aldo was already LCP, during his term as president in our committee I got the chance to get to know different aspects of his leadership approach. He indeed challenged the status quo, he build up a team and he drove AIESEC ITAM to a path on great success. He is indeed a taskmaster; as the return of his smart and hard work with his team, the exchange performance of AIESEC ITAM in Mexico achieved a historical break through and successfully made the breakthrough in the whole national plenary, and was recognized by the global network as the global TOP 10 OGX performed LC in 2011. This was first ever in the history of AIESEC Mexico. Aldo is a person that inspires trust by showing to deliver on promises; clarifying purpose by involving team members in the communication process for creating the goals to be achieved; aligning systems and resources and finally unleashing talent in others. Without a doubt being part of his Executive board in 2011 provided me with knowledge and experiences that until now remain some of the most important aspects for me to continue motivated on my AIESEC career. He has courage, dedication and the experience to keep exploding the potential AIESEC Mexico is meant to keep developing and achieving. His care for this entity is one of the most passionate and admirable performances I have seen in an AIESECer. And I can assure his job is not only meaningful to AIESEC Mexico but also in the global network, you will not just get benefit from his professional AIESEC knowledge and functional skills, but his passion and love will bring impressive inspiration and shape the future AIESEC leaders. With my utmost sincerity, objectiveness and confidence, I endorse Aldo Perez Varela for the position of Member Committee President for AIESEC Mexico. I wish him the best in the selection process. I am available for any reassurance or question regarding this endorsement. Sincerely,
Ursula Ramirez Santiago MC VP OGX AIESEC Slovenia [2012-2013] VP OGX AIESEC ITAM [2011-2012]
