Application form Local Committee President 2016 AIESEC Prešov
Dear applicant, It is my pleasure to congratulate you for your brave decision to apply for the Local Committee President of for term 2016. I know myself how difficult it is to finally decide and go for applying. Probably you still have doubts and fears about this step you are taking, but you should be already proud of yourself. You just made the first step, which was for me personally, the most difficult one. AIESEC Prešov has gone through a lot in the past years and as the youngest AIESEC committee in Slovakia there are still plenty of challenges ahead. However, I believe that Prešov Penguins have not yet used up all the potential which is hidden among them. I believe that one of the most important things for our LC and the one that has held us together so far has been the attitude and the atmosphere among members. And, to be honest, AIESEC is a lot about good relationships and friendships among people. I dare to say that this is one of the biggest challenges LCP is facing during the term - to hold people together and even in the toughest situations try to keep positive attitude inside of the committee.
I think everyone has heard plenty of stories and sharing about what LCP life is about. Some of these stories might have seemed scary, some funny, but the most important thing is that any story it is, it is always worth trying. LCP position is like none other in AIESEC. It is daring, it is challenging and sometimes tough, however with all these things come the experience which are invaluable. Speaking of myself, this term has changed me more than any other situation or experience I have had and have taken in my life. Whichever way you decide as an LCP go, whatever your vision and goals might be, whether you achieve everything you plan or not, there is going to be this added value that nobody will ever take away from you. I believe this decision has already made an impact on you and anything that comes next will shape you even more. There is no more to be said, just my wish of the best of luck for you during this process and that I am so proud of you right now! Anybody who has the courage to take this step is already a leader to me. My fingers are crossed! Erika MazuchovĂĄ Local Committee President 2015/2016 AIESEC PreĹĄov
