MCP 2013-14 Elections!!!

Candidate No. 1.: Dženita Džindo, MC VP TM&LCD

What motivated me to apply for MCP

is my MC team and the things that we

are living right now, the change that

we are bringing and this is what moti-

vates me to stay and continue the

blossom of AIESEC in Croatia together

in the next term! I wanna do every day

something that makes me proud - and

AIESEC makes me proud!

Candidate No. 2: Leo Laštro, IGP of AIESEC Zagreb

I want to talk about our programs because everything

is about programs. New members can give us a fresh

perspective how to shape AIESEC in society and lea-

ders program should focus less on operational things

and more on leading. In incoming exchange program

we should search for external relevance and that is

our recipe for success. In outgoing exchange we sho-

uld offer concrete products. Outgoing GIP should be

our focus !

Candidate No. 3: Aaquib Manadath, MCVP OGX in Lithuania

'm very excited to be here with you and the last 20 days have been

an amazing experience for me! What I believe is that Croatia should

be socially responsible and externally relevant AIESEC country. We

should work for our numbers! My focus is exchange and growth the-

re. It is very scary to deliver this speech, but what doesn't kill us, ma-

kes us stronger!

Candidate No. 4 : Duje Papić. LCP of AIESEC Split

In the last couple of weeks we have learned a lot of new

things that will help us to grow and we need to accept the

change and provide our markets with more relevant pro-

ducts! TMP and TLP are main drivers for all other programs

- we all believe in this organization and we are the ones

who are influencing the growth of our organization! We are

the talent that will bring the change to the world we live in!

Zdravo, AIESEC Hrvatska!

It has been a while since we ‘’saw’’ each other and I bet you mis-

sed me! :P

WLDC has been for me confirmation for the decision I made one

year ago to apply for MCP here, in Croatia!

I will be honest with you; this has been the only Croatian conference that I enjoyed

with all my heart since I came for MC.

Not because it was perfect, in the contrary there were many things that could be im-

proved but because it was first time I saw AIESEC Croatia UNITED not only in words

but in ACTIONS!

This is why I applied, this is WHY I chose to spend here 2 years of my life! To see this

AIESEC spirit in the whole country!

We usually see impact of AIESEC in our interns’ eyes, in the schools, organizations,

companies that we co-operate with, but for a healthy organization, we need to see the

impact of AIESEC in US!

We constantly have something to deal with, a problem to solve or a meeting to attend

and usually a full inbox!

And here is the trick! It is how we behave in these situations where our nerves are te-

sted, where our ego is hurt and where we feel tired.

If we are using these moments to LEARN how to become better colleagues, how to

improve ourselves and our behavior into a more respectful and mature one, in other

words, if we are trying to become better people every day then this is the real spirit of

AIESEC!

You fall down, you screw up, you JUMP in a leadership position and you see people

supporting you, you see an environment that encourages learning and is not accusing

us when we are not perfect.

This I believe can bring AIESEC Croatia to the next level, to make us a country role mo-

del for the global network and an organization with members that are proud to be

part of it.

And there could be not a better person to take this further on and make us all proud

than my amazing successor and team mate, Dženita!

So, keep calm, you are in good hands!

Your MCP,

Kate
