Dear AIESEC in Switzerland, it is my great pleasure to introduce you with the first ever Projects awards in AIESEC in Switzerland. After working on different projects for couple of years already, I personally value and appreciate each and every project that I have worked on. I understand the motivation and passion people invest in projects, as I always give my heart and soul into them. Because of this I believe that the effort, time, passion and impact need to be properly acknowledged. Therefore, in this term, I proudly present you Projects “Excellence” Award and Projects “Innovation” Award. Both equally valuable, both equally important, both showing the unique contribution to our core product and leadership development of members of our entity. With these Awards, I wish to appreciate people working on projects, for their outstanding contribution to our organization and to wish them luck in further challenges.
