Words from the MCP 16/17 Dear MCP candidate, it is difficult for me even to imagine that the 2me has come to open MCP applica2ons for AIESEC in Sweden for the term 17/18, and that in a blink of an eye my term will end. Exactly one year ago I was contempla2ng what will be my next step in life -‐ wether aTer 2 MC terms and 5 years in AIESEC I should leave the organisa2on, go for an internship, or just start a “real life”. MCP posi2on was definitely not something that I was thinking about from the very beginning, but with our successes and progress we achieved in the term 15/16 I felt personal responsibility to con2nue the legacy of our MC term and make sure there is con2nuity in AIESEC in Sweden. Being an MCP is not always easy, it is not always glamours, and it is not always rewarding -‐ it requires a great dose of perseverance, pa2ence, love and passion both for the AIESEC and for AIESEC in Sweden. You are the person to whom people will look upon, turn for answers and advices, for comfort, for solu2ons, and you will have to be there for your people in every single moment of their experience. You will not always see your achievements in numbers, but you will see your team becoming stronger and more connected, you will see your LCPs becoming independent, you will see your members taking leadership posi2ons, you will see lives that are changed because of AIESEC in Sweden, and this is what will keep you going. In those moments you will know that becoming the MCP was the right decision. To the person who will become my successor I promise my pa2ence and undivided a]en2on in the transi2on process and beyond that. I wish you all the luck, Klara Peic, MCP 16/17
