EMP OWERED TO DELIVER

December 29th ~ January 4th

Chicago, Illinois

Hello AIESEC! My name is David Mena from AIESEC Illinois and I am your AIESEC United States Winter National Conference Organizing Committee President. It is my delightful privilege to be the OCP for this conference and have the pleasure of leading a team of amazingly talented and experienced members of AIESEC. This Organizing Committee has worked extremely hard throughout the past weeks and months to provide you with the best conference experience possible. The work and effort by this OC is truly remarkable and is nothing less than legendary. This mailer will provide you with vital information pertaining to conference and will give you some insight into what you should expect so make sure to look through it. Our goal as an organization is to achieve peace and fulfillment of human kind’s potential. While our goal may be extraordinarily ambitious, it is nowhere near impossible. In order to fulfill our potential we must push ourselves beyond our limits and inspire those around us to do likewise. In order to achieve peace we must embrace those around us and accept each other’s differences as difficult as that may be. We must learn from our experiences and understand that everything we do has an impact on the lives of those around us. We are empowered not by our knowledge but by how we utilize that knowledge and apply it towards action and change.

What precedes change is choice and while making decisions may be challenging and at times even frightening, you must ultimately find the strength within yourself to overcome that inherent fear of change and immerse yourself in a new experience. Everyday there are opportunities and everyday you are presented with difficult choices that will lead you to a completely new experience. I challenge you to take part in a new experience and go on this journey of self-discovery, change, and ultimately fulfillment. Whether this conference marks the beginning of your AIESEC career or the end of a wonderful experience with AIESEC, this conference will serve as a platform for you to embark on a new journey in life, wherever that may be. We will be awaiting you in downtown Chicago, with open arms and open hearts, to commence this legendary conference and to begin a new journey in your life. @ly, David MenaOrganizing Committee PresidentAIESEC US WNC 2013-2014

A Letter from OCP

A Letter from

Dearest delegates of WNC 2013-2014,

Generation 2013’s stand is to become Bigger and Better Together. WNC is a time to

celebrate the impact we achieved, the learnings we had and the stories we shared. It is a

time to be proud of the great things AIESEC US has done so far and will do in the future –

because by becoming Bigger and Better Together, we enabled a new generation of lead-

ers to take AIESEC US to the next level.

Generation 2014’s stand is Empowered to Deliver.

The most magical moments I personally experienced in AIESEC were when the impact we

are having becomes crystal clear and I know and feel that we are indeed working towards

Peace and Fulfillment of Humankind’s Potential. Let us create many of these moments

together during this WNC – and make it a starting point to empower a whole network to

excel. Maybe even more importantly, let’s talk about how we, as AIESEC United States,

need to move forward to do that. With delegates from all locations and levels of the organi-

zation in one place, we are facing an amazing chance to start writing AIESEC US history.

Let’s show what this generation can achieve – let’s go big!

We have important sessions, outstanding events, great partners, and last but not least,

MCP elections waiting for you – I hope you are as excited as we are!

I am extremely honored to be serving you as your agenda manger throughout this experi-

ence and cannot wait to meet you all in Chicago! Thank you so much for choosing this

experience – we promise you, it will be worthwhile.

WNC love,

Elli
