Letter from the MCP elect
Dear Candidate,
I am proud and honored to present you the application for the Member Committee Vice Presidents of AIESEC in Iceland for the term 15|16. I warmly welcome every candidate who wishes to join AIESEC in Iceland to make a difference and contribute to the growth of this entity.
This March 2015, I got the confidence and trust of AIESEC in Iceland to be their next MCP; giving me an amazing opportunity to take the next step in my career path and AIESEC journey. I am glad and excited to share this chance with you.
I remember applying and explaining how I want to do something bigger and how much I believe in what can be achieved. If I have learned something throughout my entire AIESEC experience, it is that everything is all about people, and it is up to us to achieve anything we wish to. Your time has come to give it a try and trust yourself for being passionate, motivated and determined. Good luck!
