EB Coffee Chat July 2012

“EBCC is kind of great because it's like a space for members and EB to get closer. It's really useful for members who want to talk with all VPs from any function even LCP. You just feel free to say about your problem or concerns. And then they will listen to those concerns and tell you what you need to do in a friendly way….”

On behalf of AIESEC HCMC, I’d like to inform LC members about the financial health of our LC in July. So far our income has exceeded our operational expenses and therefore made a small progress in our reserve. The good point here is that we can survive a little bit longer if the income is reluctant to support us in the future. Big congratulations for our effort to bring income and cut cost!!! On the other hand, there are one thing we need to improve. Some operational expenses are still out of our control, which means that some functions and some activities was prepared to happen without having a consideration about our financial health. This violates LC Compendium and is extremely dangerous to our LC because very soon we would be RUSH OF CASH and GET BANKRUPT with our unplaned expenses.

The solution for this would be making the budget plan together with your activities plan and submitting to Finance team 10 days before the activities’ day. Below is some activities need improving:T-SHIRT FUNDRAISING OF SEX EDUCATION PROJECT. You did make a VERY HUGE expense to our project and LC in general without any serious consideration about finance of LC. Never try to do that again!OFFICIAL RELEASE DAY OF SEX EDUCATION PROJECT. Your effort to cut down the cost is encouraging but try to submit the actual expenses to us on time. It was 2 weeks late.EWA AIESEC T-SHIRT COMPETITION. Next time if you guys want to have a T-shirt for gift, ask Finance to make sure we have enough money.MARKET RESEARCH OF EXTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS TEAM. We are still waiting for your exact plan with budget .
