What a weekend. I really got to know some very interesting people. The subgroup itself was amazing. We actually got through our agenda, with some major output, something I was very worried about. however, the next step is the most important, the communication of our ideas to the rest of the nation. After listening to the discussion this weekend, about last summer's SSC, it is my belief that the major break down for this past year, one of the major factors for the LTM fiasco spring semester, was the miscommunication that occurred at SSC. After listening to Rikesh and Ali from Madison, it became obvious that a lack of time and the lack of a clear plan of communication, or perhaps the perfect combination of both, resulted in the beginning of the mistrust between LC and MC. It was the perceived handing down of the design, the perceived limitation placed on the LC's, that pissed off so many people. Compounded on top of that was the incompleteness of the design and the tools to help in implementation. This process kick started what many have felt throughout AIESEC US, this feeling of apathy, a feeling of mistrust, and the beginning of the questioning and inquiry towards the "MC" from the "LCs." Having this in mind is so very important. We have the opportunity to push AIESEC US to new heights, empowering LC leaders, aligning globally, and strengthening our Brand. Man, I’m pumped.
