Dear Delegates of National Congress 2011! AIESEC Edmonton is pleased to welcome you all to our lovely city and hope you will get to experience and enjoy our western hospitality over the holiday season! We are excited to celebrate our 40th year as an LC and ring in the New Year with the future leaders of AIESEC Canada.

There will be opportunities to network with over 300 AIESECers from across Canada and the world, as well as corporate partners on the national and local level. You will be challenged to think outside of the box and forge the path for AIESEC Canada’s future, not only in your LC’s but also by electing the new Member Committee President for AIESEC Canada 2011-2012. Through meeting new people, making friends, and challenging yourself to step out of your comfort zone we hope that you will gain the confidence and inspiration to lead AIESEC Canada to greater heights than ever before in the coming year and to keep this great organization sustainable for future generations. As the Organizing Committee for NC 2011, we have worked hard over the last year to ensure this will be a successful and fulfilling conference for everyone who attends.
