Message from the President-elect Two months ago, I was where you are now– eager for my next step in AIESEC,

curious about Myanmar, excited about a new environment, wondering if I should jump into

such a rapidly changing country or simply stay in my comfort zone. It’s obvious now that I

chose to be bold and I hope you can be bold too.

Not many people know about what’s going on in Myanmar, and I wasn’t an exception. I decided to apply somewhat

blindly. All I knew was I wanted a change, a challenge. I wanted to change, to challenge. Going through the MCP

app process, I fell in love with Myanmar and all it offered. Development was inevitable and the Burmese people

must maintain integrity while learning to adapt to the trends– a feat AIESEC is very familiar with, especially in 2015.

Joining AIESEC Myanmar is exhilarating, but doing it in 2015 is extraordinary– history in the making.

Myanmar is in its formative years, opening itself only recently for globalization. It’s the perfect time for us to deliver

cultural education and professional experiences. The Burmese youth so clearly need the LDM, so your Clarity of

Why will be equally clear. I challenge you to pursue BOLD ACTIONS OF A NEW AIESEC TOWARDS A NEW

MYANMAR. I need action-oriented, self-driven, and resilient teammates and if that’s you, then apply now! The

entity is so young here that even AIESEC itself is not a comfort zone. You’ll learn and grow here as fast as

Myanmar will. This year will transform you. Are you ready to meet the new you?

Hoping to have you on board,

Iris

Myanmar from last frontier to pioneer
