Create the change you want to see in Colombia
Member Committee Applications AIESEC in Colombia 2013-2014
Dear Applicant
AIESEC in Colombia is underway an incredible journey towards AIESEC 2015.
We are constantly evolving as an organization, and the challenge that lays always
ahead every day is how we are going to become more relevant in Colombia.
The external landscape is exciting. Colombia is going through tough challenges and
as well as through constant changes that mean big opportunities for AIESEC to be
more relevant and to deliver on its promise to society.
The key to continue growing is to find the connecting points between the essence of
the organization and the progress of it; there is NOT dilemma between quantity and
quality; they are both elements that must be embedded in our operations, as well as
reflected in our behaviors.
Our promise to society is crystal clear and AIESEC in Colombia is going to deliver
on that promise.
We are the current prize holders of the Global Excellence UBS Award. This
important recognition means a lot for our country and for the network. This is
something earned by many generations who have been working very hard for our
organization, and therefore there is a responsibility on our shoulders to carry up
further this important legacy.
The term 2013-2014 lays many challenges for AIESEC in Colombia. We need to be
able to make our LCs more independent. We need to continue thriving on our
expansion efforts. We also need to operate smarter and more efficiently to do more
and better.
Join us on the exciting quest of conquering the no-boundaries of impact that
AIESEC in Colombia was born to have. Hereby, with great excitement the MC
applications 2013-2014 are open!
Wishing you all the best,
MC BOOST AIESEC in Colombia

United in Purpose
Growing through Actions
Member Committee AIESEC in Colombia 2013-2014
While the members of AIESEC in Colombia’s MCs come from diverse backgrounds
and environments, several general characteristics, skills and knowledge are
expected of everyone.
Intellectual and psychological
Many aspects of one’s personality can effect being part of a leadership team in
AIESEC in Colombia. Some of them are obvious: constant learning, systematic
thinking, creativity, adaptability to change, sense of responsibility, capacity of
analysis, patience, listening, and supportiveness.
Society knowledge
A broad knowledge of world and organizational systems, current trends and issues
facing society and cultural issues are important to lead a Local Committee. Practical
understanding of new management theories (e.g. learning organization, self-
organizing systems) is also important in managing the diverse environments in
which AIESEC operates. In addition, each position requires skills and knowledge in
the areas of financial management and budgeting, project management, human
resources management, and good understanding of English.
AIESEC understanding
A broad understanding of the association is required in order to execute an MC
position properly. An understanding of our vision, values, identity, current direction,
country development, and systems is certainly something we will look for in all
candidates.
Others
Overall, there is no perfect candidate profile; however, good candidates will possess
strong competencies in the areas of social behavior, motivation, task orientation,
and people management skills. The key component is balance - within the
individuals and within the team of individuals!
General profile of MC Members

Living in Colombia
Living in Colombia is a challenge you do with pleasure. The country is rich on
beautiful landscapes and natural resources that Colombians are very proud of and
think are unique in this world. Colombia proved in the last couple of years it is not a
land to be feared. People are very warm, open to foreigners and passionate.
The economy has been stable despite the regional changing situation of Latin
America, offering a promising professional environment.
Working for the Colombian MC Working for the Colombian MC will give you a
valuable professional experience, working with many different partners as well as
having to follow the high expectations of a Top AIESEC country in order to be able
to deliver results. For further information: http://www.colombia.co/
Conditions
The AIESEC in Colombia Office is located within one of the AIESEC local
committee’s universities. It has the necessary infrastructure to be able to work:

Salary
MC members will also receive a monthly compensation for living expenses of COP
$1,000,000. In US Dollars the monthly salary is equivalent (it changes depending on
the exchange rate) to 556. This amount is enough for the basic expenses in Bogota,
such as rent, food, urban transportation and parties.
There will be only basic support of COP $20,000 per day for the transition month so
candidates are required to have some savings to last them until they get their first
salary for June. Accommodation will be possible at the MC apartments during
transition (this topic will be discuss once the MC is elected)
Accommodation
There might be the possibility to live in the MC apartments if the agency agrees and
if you wish so. Not the whole team is living together and you are free to choose what
you prefer.
Transportation
Travel for purposes of AIESEC in Colombia (coaching, marketing and conference
travel), according to national priorities and budget available, are covered both for full
time and part time MC members. Personal travel and moving expenses to Bogota
are not. The support for the MC Members to go to International Conferences
depends on the financial situation during the term.
