I Know that at this moment you may feel very committed to apply or maybe you are doubting to start the process. But I want to tell you that a semester ago when I was going through the same situation many times I doubt and finally I decided that what I really wanted was to follow what my heart told me and my passion.
So, a semester later I can tell you that I do not regret any moment of the decision that I take, that showed me greatly to know me more. I know that first of all formed as a leader and more important as the leader that the world needs today is not easy. Therefore, the decision you're about to take, if you choose to accept it, is to run a process that will take you first to know too much and second to realize that the journey that every volcano must travel is too hard but it's the best decision you can take. AIESEC PASTO although has that has not had a very large growth, has shown that is creating leaders committed and that the advance of 2016, has 2017 take disruptively grow and be relevant nationally. We will demonstrate that for each of us if it's possible to do things. But more especially, that we can do things differently. It is for this reason that the coming year will be a year of many changes and should focus on learning how to manage change as an opportunity for sustainable growth and achieving the impossible to make something possible because #ImposibleNoEsVulcano. At this very moment we are on the shoulders of giants, we have a great responsibility to lead not only the next generation of leaders of AIESEC PASTO but the generation that began to be part of the "Youth Leadership Movement", the generation of AIESEC 2020. The challenge that I am proposing you is not easy, but if you decide to take it, I can promise you with my experience that I've had in a year that will be worthwhile in every way. But the most important thing is that you decide the experience you want to remember and this starts from now, from the moment you start to make the application. That the only time you decide to make the change will be when you take action. So without further ado, I invite you dear Volcano on an adventure where you will “Believe in AIESEC4PASTO“ but with RESULTS. AIESECly,
Jose William Mendez Erazo Local Committee President AIESEC PASTO 2017

Please, PLEASE, do not wait until the last moment to send your app, as Murphy Law is right around the corner. Be sure that, from 11:00pm on, your PC is going to shut down, the video is not going to upload, wi-fi connection will fail and the .zip or .rar file is not going to compress. At 6:00pm, there is a solution for all of the above. At 11:00pm, there isn’t. Content is more important than Design, but do not leave the latter behind.

While the members of AIESEC in Colombia’s EBs come from diverse backgrounds and environments, several general characteristics, skills and knowledge are expected of everyone.
Many aspects of one’s personality can effect being part of a leadership team in AIESEC Local chapter. Some of them are obvious: constant learning, systematic thinking, creativity, adaptability to change, sense of responsibility, capacity of analysis, patience, listening, and supportiveness but also you have to keep in mind that the most important thing is to understand why as a leader of this amazing organization in AIESEC in Colombia you are doing what you are doing. Great leaders inspire action and lead consciously.
A broad knowledge of world and organizational systems, current trends and issues facing society and cultural issues are important to lead a Local Committee. Practical understanding of new management theories (e.g. learning organization, self- organizing systems) is also important in managing the diverse environments in which AIESEC operates. In addition, each position requires skills and knowledge in the areas of financial management and budgeting, project management, human resources management, and good understanding of English.
A broad understanding of the association is required in order to execute an LCEB position properly. An understanding of our vision, values, identity, current direction, country development, and systems is certainly something we will look for in all candidates.
Overall, there is no perfect candidate profile; however, good candidates will possess strong competencies in the areas of social behavior, motivation, task orientation, and people management skills. The key component is balance - within the individuals and within the team of individuals.
