Congratulations,
You took the first step in becoming
the next Local Committee president
of AIESEC & Make a Move Twente.
Being LCP is going to give you many
opportunities that make you gain
new skills, contacts, memories,
friends, knowledge about yourself
and other people. It will push you
outside your comfort zone (no do
not be scared, it is still AIESEC so
there is the safety net to catch you).
You might have experience in
AIESEC already or another
organisation, but there is another
challenge ahead of you, and that is
leading this great team of 21 people
through 2014-2015. See them grow,
develop. See the organization grow,
develop. See yourself grow and
develop.
One of our local advisory board
members (CEO of Kienhuis &
Hoving) named it as “you have the
chance to run your own company of
21 people for a year, this is such
meaningful experience”.
I cannot agree with him more. You
have responsibilities you probably
will not even have in your first job.
You learn about your leadership
style, how do you get unpaid people
moving and how do you get them to
be better at what they do.
What would you do if AIESEC &
Make a Move Twente is in your
hands? What would you do
different? What would your
strengths and challenges be on this
journey? What will AIESEC be to
you?
The past time you have maybe seen
me as your LCP, and my way of
doing it. Of course this is just one
way. Every LCP is different, has a
different focus, leadership style,
vision, is a different person. Feel
free to also talk to previous LCP’s or
LCP’s from other cities to find out
what their experiences are. For any
contact details just let me know, I
am happy to get them for you!
In this booklet will be more
information on the responsibilities
as LCP and what to do to apply!
And remember,
For any questions, comments,
wishes, talks, sharing…
…find me!
Looking forward to your application!

Responsibilities
LCP As LCP you are part of the back
office/head office. This also means
your individual tasks are not as clearly
identified as a VP OGX for example.
However specific responsibilities of the
LCP are/could be for example the
recruitment and agenda of the
LCweekend. It pretty much comes to
the fact you are responsible for the
whole wellbeing of the AIESEC & Make
a Move Twente.
Executive board
As LCP you are of course not on your
own leading the LC. I first thought the
LC would be my team: I was going to
be president of 20 people, but soon I
realised my team mostly was the EB.
You work together on daily bases, the
LCP is supposed to know what they are
doing, and by coaching them you
empower them to coach their own
team. Together you decide on strategy:
where are you heading with AIESEC, of
which you are the final responsible.
You deal with sudden problems
together and your attitude will be the
example to the rest of the members
that they will follow. Other days you
are attending RavA or LAR meetings,
together or travelling the country for
convent and Reception Weekend.
Local Committee When I became LCP and we went to
NTOS it was at first a little strange.
Because people where following me
automatically as if I knew where to go
(I had no clue!). Soon however it
became more natural to me to have
people trust me and having the LC
letting me be their leader. You will
definitely discover how you deal with
this and what position you take in the
group. As LCP you are responsible for
the well-being and development of the
members, as well as organizing the
LCmeetings. And of course: work hard
play harder sometimes all together!

Externally As LCP you are the face of the
organisation. You are the one being
approached for everything first,
receiving the e-mails when something
needs to be done, and also the one
being spoken to when things go wrong.
This is a great responsibility
sometimes, but also pretty cool, and
great for your personal branding! You
will build a reputation and network
quickly which you can use well for your
future.
National LCP’s network AIESEC is an international organisation
which means your responsibilities will
not stop at Twente. You closely work
together with the other LCP’s of the
Netherlands. You share experiences,
tools, ideas, emotions and more. You
will probably be taking part in a
national taskforce as well, as getting
the opportunity to attend at least one
conference together (and maybe even
the largest of the world: IC!)
Internationally The cool thing about being LCP and
going to conference is that you also
build a huge international network.
This gives you the chance to even
travel more, get invited to more
conferences, chair, faci, or attend. You
will be able to learn a great deal as well
from them on how they approach
things, and how they run AIESEC
differently, because the cultural
difference can also clearly seen back in
this organisation as well.

The manifest should be between 5 and 7 pages, A4. You can decide yourself on what you would like to include or not. To help you out a little:
