Mc Daredevils #DareToAchieve
From your MCP… Dear AIESEC in Austria, Thank you for taking 8me to read our first report for the month of July. As we are slowly stepping into August we had some 8me to look back and reflect on the things that were happening in the previous 31 days. For us as MC, July was a very challenging month. First 8me alone in the office, MC Momentum already leJ and it was up to us to take full responsibility and start working in full speed. July was the month when we realized our first na8onal conference, organized for the first 8me as well – and it took a lot of our 8me and energy to actually make it happen. July was the month when we had our first commission mee8ngs without MC Momentum and started working with you, EBs 2015-‐2016. July was the month when we submiSed our MC plan and presented our ambi8on for AIESEC in Austria. July was the month when we were doing our first SONA. Challenges give us the space to learn, so in July, we learned a lot as an MC – about ourselves, about our team, about AIESEC in Austria. So we really value the month of July as a great start for us as MC Daredevils and we cherish every moment spent in this country, working for this en8ty. All in all, for us July was an adventure. And we enjoyed it. Hope that you enjoyed working with us in our first 31 days of the term. Let’s see what we all actually did. AIESECly yours,
Una
President of AIESEC in Austria
