How do you feel being chosen as the new President of ALSA

NC Indonesia?ToTo be honest, there was no euphoria when The Presidium of National Assembly announced my name as President for 2013-2014 period. I simply feel grateful that I still have a chance to serve ALSA and motivated to strivestrive more to make this family stronger.

Would you kindly tell us how did your career in ALSA begin? It started when I was in High School and there were many of my favorite seniors majoring Law. I also knew ALSA from them because they gave me their ALSA name card and told me about ALSA. At that time, they were givinggiving me an impression that Law Students especially the ones who join ALSA are smart, critical, rm, and charismatic. Because of that, I decided to major in Law to become like them and also I gave promise to myself that I will join ALSAALSA if accepted at the Faculty of Law.

What inspired you to become the President of ALSA NC Indonesia?I decided to run for President since June 2012 in which I've heard some problems occurred during the management of incumbent NB. Because of the problem, I believe I could improve National Board in the

future, thus I decided to run as a candidate.

What do you plan to achieve in the year to come? How will the current Board differ from the previous one?MMy main concern for this year is our internal condition of ALSA Indonesia. I hope that all LCs could reach their maximum potency by supervision, advise, and help from NB. To reach that, I want my Board to be momore communicative to all LCs, doing at least three visits to each LC, and initiate rst Leadership Training for ALSA Indonesia.

Where do you see yourself ve years from now?Hahaha..This is actually the most difficult question so far. I think I see myself as an Advocate or Lecturer in ve years from now.

LLastly, do you have any message for our fellow ALSA-ians?TThe word maybe spells A-L-S-A, but what it does really mean is L-O-V-E. LOVE to Organizing and being a Leader to ourselves also others in order to Manage our beloved ALSA. Let's contribute and have fun inin ALSA. ALSA, ALWAYS BE ONE! TP
