Application Booklet

Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.- Buddha

Dear Candidate,

You have taken the first step into becoming a part of Executive Board. Opening this application means, that there is this little (or maybe not so little at all) thought going through your mind, that you should apply for this position. If you feel in your heart that this is a right thing to do, do not hesitate. Even if you are afraid, remember that on every step of your AIESEC journey you are not alone. There are people who are always willing to help you.

At the same time, please remember, that being it Executive Board, means having a great influence on the whole Committee and each and every member of it. It means that you need to be ready to be a role model.Being in Executive Board is a great honor but at the same time a great responsibility. What is needed is your commitment, enthusiasm and perseverance.

I am not saying that is going to be easy, I am saying that it is going to be worth it. I know, that there will be good times and bad times, successes and failures. But I also know that at the end of this experience, you will say „ I made something remarkable, something that I can be proud of”. I know that through that experience you will grow, you will get closer to excellence.

The last thing that I want you to know and remember is that you don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

I believe in you and keep all my fingers crossed !!

Yours,Marysia DerendarzLocal Committee President elect2013/2014
