ER Weekend!

I cannot tell you how excited I am about External Relations after this weekend. We have an absolutely awesome team. You are all so motivated and committed and I just know we are going to achieve amazing things together!

Seeing the results of those local target sheets, seeing people writing "159" on their arms, seeing you all discussing things with such intensity and passion. We all love AIESEC and I can tell you are all ready to work hard to achieve these goals. We as an MC are ready too. Together, we have started things here. All we need to do is keep this fantastic momentum going and we will get to where we want to be.

For those who weren't at ER weekend, 159 is AIESEC Venezuela's national target for realised exchanges 2006/2007. That's 77 TNs and 82 SNs - around 11 of each for each LC.

Sounds like a lot? It may be, but it is doable. At ER Weekend we worked out exactly what needs to be done to get there. And it is achievable. Market segmentation will give us a huge head-start in selling exchange. We will be going to companies knowing that they are going to say yes. That is where the difference is. With this, plus the committment of the ER teams, every LC will be attending around 5 meetings per week and we can hit the target of 77 TNs by Christmas, let alone June!

So that is what we are going to do. 77 people experiencing Venezuela for the very first time. 82 people gaining international experience abroad.

159 life-changing experiences!

We can do it!
We will do it!
