Message from MC 15.16

Determination, dedication, courage, action and optimism are what have taken from the very first moment of our term as a Team, towards driving our common stand in empowering Benin to amplify our relevance and impact together. As we look forward to the next generation of leaders for AIESEC in Benin we expect nothing less than passionate dreamers who are able to look and act beyond the standard way of doing AIESEC. We are not promising the smoothness of the ride while in MC‌ Frankly, it is the most challenging role we have ever taken, but it worth it till the end. Candidates should have in mind the continuity of the current strategies and drivers of the network in order to manage the long-term growing path for this amazing entity.
