Introduction Dear AIESECers, It’s amazing to see you are interested in applying for CC team of EuroCo 2017 and thus give your contribution to one of Europe’s most important touchpoints of the year. We have less than two months until delegates from all across the region, and beyond, will come to the Netherlands and have an unforgettable time that you will create for them. This experience will include downscaling of IC 2017 to our membership, alignment with the regional plan and it will provide space for everyone to strengthen the collaboration we seek within AIESEC in Europe, which ultimately will lead to us being United in Diversity. With this in mind, I wish you the very best with your application process and I’m looking forward to work with you on EuroCo 2017!
Kind regards, Miron Lukac Conference Manager
