Yesterday evening was the anually EB-Election. For all non-AIESECers: "EB" is our Executive Board. The big shots. The VIPs who will be steering our LC (Local Comittee). The Bigwigs who will hardly sleep for one year, beginning about march 2008. The brass hats who will... well I think you got the picture.
And guess what? ER* not only rocks, we also RULE next year. Yes, Rule written all in CAPITALS. Why? Because Antonia was the only candidate who applied for a VP (Vice President) position.
* ER: External Relations. The guys who do important stuff like marketing, public relations, organising seminars with outside partner organisations, raising stuff, writing articles and other vital jobs. The best team of an LC to work in. My team.
She delivered a speech, explained what she intents to do in her year as VP ER, was elected, enjoyed her traditional champaign shower and got hugged by her friends (and shared that election-scent with them). Life is great. :o)
[mental leap to past weekend, one day before the election]
Last weekend was LISA: the Local Introduction Seminar for AIESECers, where Newies get their first in-depth impression of the organisation. Sadly, I couldn't be there because someone had to attend to the AIESEC booth at the university's Alumni Event (where we met a couple of AIESEC oldies from the early nineties - charter members of our LC!), so I missed a great conference.
"Great" not only because LISA's are always great but because it seems that this new generation of AIESECers has so much enthusiasm that some newies expressed their interest in becoming a VP as soon as possible.
...which means this very year. By-elections are already in planning, and I am sure we'll have a complete EB for 2008/09 of highly motivated guys very soon. As I said: Life is great.

Hey Daniel, thanks for sharing!
I just did not really get why EB member should not sleep for one year. We just don't do it at home but in the office. ;)
And *crack wise* it's the Executive Board. Although we are elected of course. :)

Maja *going for LCP*
Elective Board, Executive Board... mea culpa. ;o)
...sleep, VP? I always thought that makes for a bed...ahem, bad combination! ;o)
As LCP you'll bound to have even LESS sleep - just about it! ;o)

You know the ppt-presentation about being an LCP and being always there?
I think Philipp had it once at a local committee meeting.
In case you don't - tell me to show when we meet next time.
*biggrin*
No, dunno that one. If it's not too large, send me the file and I'll upload it on youtube!
