MOTIVATION LETTER “ This will be my 5th year in voluntary organizational work, but it will be different from anything I have ever done before! ” Hello, my name is Mohammad Jubeh, and I am writing this letter to express my deep interest in applying for the position of “Vice President for External Affairs” at PMSA- Nablus Local Committee. I see this position as the only position that will enable me to put my full potentials to deliver a professional quality service for Palestinian medical students. Voluntary work may be a tricky subject. Since it yields mainly no financial return for the volunteer, the best volunteers virtually always have other noble reasons for this work. My reasoning is crystal clear; I want to offer Palestinian medical students the best organizational service, making them equipped with knowledge, skills, and values to lift the health care system in Palestine and take their essential role in forming the strong, independent country we all aspire. Throughout the years, I have been involved heavily in voluntary organizational work. From working with “Action-Aid” writing official Policy Papers for the “Ministry of Health”, to be one of the founders of the only non-university-linked, Palestinian Debate Club (for all activities, refer to the CV), I have been critically monitoring voluntary work in Palestine for nearly five years, learning from its mistakes, and building on its achievements. More importantly, I have been studying PMSA- Nablus work throughout the last year and critically analyzing its services and milestones. Page 04 I MOTIVATION LETTER

MOTIVATION LETTER I see PMSA- Nablus as a strong NGO that shares democratic values I believe in. For me, working with PMSA- Nablus is a way of serving Palestine. The professional work I will try to do at PMSA- Nablus will be at the exact level of professionalism, commitment, and quality that I would like to see in my country. I am genuinely taking this work as serious and as important as I can. I chose “Vice president for External Affairs” because I see it as a comprehensive position that will put me in the larger frame of the Local Committee work, enabling me to benefit from most of my potentials, experiences, and abilities. The “Vice president for External Affairs” position will allow me to take part in the decision-making process regarding the Local Committee’s external representation, control PMSANablus online tools (which is aligned with my experience as the “Social Media Coordinator” at “An-Najah Debate Club”, Make strong, beneficial, and strategic partnerships with the university, Local institutions, and organizations. The outcome of all of this will be the most professional, comprehensive, and complete service any “Vice president for External Affairs” can offer. My work will be hand in hand with other team officials and members. Together we will provide genuine and true quality service for Palestinian medical students and strengthen our Local Committee, thus creating the organization we wish and offering the service we aspire, but how am I going to achieve that? It’s all explained in my action plan.

PLAN OF ACTION TOWARD PALESTINE Voluntary or even non-voluntary work in Palestine must always enforce our existence and freedom, and PMSA- Nablus is no exception. We are living a fierce identity conflict, where our whole culture is being heavily challenged and at the edge of being erased! PMSA, as the national representation of Palestinian medical students, plays an essential role in this conflict. I will work in association with other team members and officials to increase the implementation of the Palestinian identity into PMSA- Nablus’s external image. I will rethink our visual identity, social media posts, statements, and content to ensure a more prominent presence of the Arabic language and the Palestinian identity in our external appearance. Our external image must represent genuinely who we are: Educated, Arabic, Palestinian medical students.
TOWARD THE STUDENT Students are the backbone of PMSA- Nablus, and serving them is my top priority. Improving our students’ potentials, skills, and experiences and offering them with opportunities that will actually affect their thinking, understanding, and maybe enrich their CV’s is a noble purpose.

PLAN OF ACTION
Those skilled, experienced students will later graduate and take their vital role in Palestinian society, so it is crucial to work for them and offer them new chances. I will work extensively to offer our students a professional quality service. From coordinating new kinds of activities (benefiting from our new external relations) to opening the door of new opportunities (utilizing our new partners), I will work my best to ensure our students' development. I will use my relations and experience with the university, local NGOs, and other national institutions to provide our students with genuinely beneficial trainings and experiences, ranging from soft skills to assessing the challenges the Palestinian medical institutions face, proposing official solutions, and much more.
TOWARD THE EXECUTIVE BOARS Although the name “Vice President of External Affairs” may imply the VPE’s job description is exclusive to external representation, the reality is much more inclusive. The “Vice President of External Affairs” is a pivotal member of the executive board, and he, along with other “Executive Board” members, carry the burden of leading the local committee. Page 09 I PLAN OF ACTION
Mohammad Jubeh. VPE 2020/2021
PLAN OF ACTION I will work hand in hand with the “Executive Board” members. Together, we will lead the federation, provide opportunities and services, lift up the local committee, and be accountable in front of students. I will utilize my experience as one of the founders of the only nonuniversity-linked Palestinian debate club and my leadership skills as an official debate judge and trainer to fulfill my role as a board member.
I will strictly fulfill my role as a member of the “Executive Board”, taking part in the decision-making process, monitoring activities, improving our service quality, and working on the local committee’s strategic and sustainable goals.

Mohammad Jubeh. VPE 2020/2021
PLAN OF ACTION More cohesively, I will support the Board’s work toward implementing its goals, especially in taking the lead for action points and objectives related to our external image, improvement in our public relations, and promoting the Local Committee. I will work with other board members, such as the treasurer and the VPI, to make strategic, effective, and beneficial relations and sponsorships and to let students take part in determining our external image.
ANNUAL WORKING PLAN Ensure a successful handover: I will meet and counsel the previous “Vice President of External Affairs” to learn from his experience and make sure a smooth transaction occurs. I will also work with him to ensure a successful handover of previous documents. Such successful handover will prevent mistakes, such as repetition, slow kickoff, and other logistic problems. I will contact the “National VPE” and fellow “VPE’s” at other local committees and arrange a meeting with them to discuss plans for the upcoming term.
ACTIVITIES PMSA- Nablus activities: I will work with Standing Committee Officers to design multiple, unique, and Palestinian-specific activities. These activities will be more interesting and beneficial to our students. Page 11 I PLAN OF ACTION
Mohammad Jubeh. VPE 2020/2021
PLAN OF ACTION Collaboration Activities: Assess potential activity collaboration opportunities between Local Councils and external partners, encourage them to collaborate and facilitate at all steps of collaboration to ensure smooth conduction, as well as finding new partnerships
PROMOTION Run promotional campaigns: I will work with the SecretaryGeneral and the CPRSD to run promotional campaigns. Promotional campaigns aim to motivate students to use their potentials and volunteer with the Local Committee. They will drop specific focus on the new “Scoring and Evaluation system”, which shall function as a reward system for the students’ work with PMSA- Nablus. These “rewards” will motivate students to use and utilize their potentials and volunteer with PMSA- Nablus.
Mohammad Jubeh. VPE 2020/2021
PLAN OF ACTION Open the call for a “Designer team�: An excellent social media representation can attract donors, enhance our outreach, allow us to make better contracts/ attract better trainers, enhance our public appearance, and much more. The designer team will work to create a professional visual identity that is unique, interesting, and highlights our Palestinian culture. The designer team will design infographs, videos, and media to share on our social media accounts. Exposure of activities: Activities are the PMSA's face and require extensive media coverage to convey the work done and gain attention and interest. I will promote PMSA activities on social media on PMSA's platforms (Facebook, Instagram, etc.) and other local news agencies' social sites Continuous Reports: Constant reporting of PMSA- Nablus's external promotional work will help assess the work progress, impact, and efficiency. I will make reports regarding the matter and submit them for the "Executive Board".

PLAN OF ACTION SPONSORS AND SPONSORSHIPS Create Funding Proposal document: Good funding strategy is an essential factor for achieving our goals. I will work in coordination with the Secretary-General and the treasurer to create a professional funding proposal. This proposal will include PMSA- Nablus’s main achievements, milestones, challenges, as well as information about our job, values, and mission. We can use this professional proposal in future fund-raising jobs. Fund-raising strategy: Work with the treasurer to arrange fundraising campaigns
OTHERS Work with PMSA- Nablus delegates: Students who represent PMSA- Nablus in external events will receive “Soft skills” training, which shall include: Public speaking, networking, communication skills, cultural respect, and much more.
