The Trainees! (and more CR)

The Trainees are blogging!

Frank is just back from a 3-day conference that the World Bank invited us too. Mario's been away coaching Barquisimeto and Maracaibo and Risho's had an XM weekend. LDS, led by super-woman Antje and her team of newly qualified and awesome facilitators, was apparently rather good at the weekend.

I was lost in the jungle at the weekend but am now back feeling reinvigorated and selling all our wonderful products! I'm extremely excited about the Valencia event - Nov 23-25. Liderazgo y Vision are an amazing organisation working towards change in Venezuela and they are added to the list of great partners we have for it! Also doing lots of research into Corporate Responsibility and realising the huge potential for this in Venezuela, as well as the huge potential for Social Entrepreneurship. Time to get the Exchange going so we have a massively diverse bunch of trainees to participate in these projects!

There's an incredible conference taking place in the US next week - Business as an Agent of World Benefit. AIESEC will have a strong presence there, with Maggie Fung from the CR drive team attending along with about 20 other AIESECers.

If you want to be part of this turning point in the perception and action of CSR, I really encourage you to participate on-line in their fantastic virtual conference environment (all the keynote speeches, discussions and loads more with thousands of people). It's $39 for students and starts this Sunday 22nd October.

We're all been very busy. Sorry for the lack of blogging! Come to International Table tonight and kick our asses.
