The Global Connection
JoAnn Boland Recipients Attend Regional Presidents
Meeting in Bolivia with AIESEC US
AIESEC US Attends Regional Presidents Meeting in Bolivia
Submitted by Pau Ávila, MCP, AIESEC United States
AIESEC US attended the Regional Presidents Meeting in Santa Cruz, Bolivia this past November 6-10th. Local and National Presidents of entities across the Americas region were present at this space to receive capacity-building sessions on how to become better leaders for their entities. The US was able to bring the presence of Lauren, LCP outgoing of AIESEC in Miami; Pedro, incoming LCP of AIESEC in NYC; 3 MCVPs aiming to apply to MCP; and the current MCP.
During this conference, we had the opportunity to gather good case practices from other entities and to build international relationships. We brought home a lot of ideas and things to take forward for this upcoming generation to keep on building and growing AIESEC US!
OLE OLE OLE OLE… AMEEEERICAAAAS ❤️
