A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Our Momentum…

Today, the world witnesses the ability of young

people to create real impact on their societies as

they lead political, social, and economical reform

across the MENA region; creating a clear

statement that young people today are a skilled,

passionate, and determined energy which should

not only be recognized as a force and a tool, but

also a core pillar in their communities’ leadership

towards a better future.

2011 has marked a new momentum for young

people around the world; transforming the way

organizations and governments appreciate youth

innovation, complexity, connectivity, and passion,

and how young people could be engaged more in

innovating ideas and designing strategies that

copes with today’s constantly changing world and

technology.

As we believe in the incredible power of young

people, we in AIESEC feel the importance of

harnessing this power and guiding it towards

positive actions to create positive impact on the

local and global societies; by keeping young

people informed of the burring issues affecting our

world today, and providing them with the

environment to explore their own leadership and

how they can contribute into making a difference in

the local communities.

In the past five years, as an organization led by

youth for youth, AIESEC in Jordan جمعية تنمية مهارات

القياديةالشباب has been a living example of what

young people in Jordan are capable of; we have

delivered over 200 life-changing experiences,

initiated and led 7 issue based projects in

entrepreneurship, sustainability, education, and

cultural exchange, partnered with over 30

organizations, and delivered over 40 conferences

and seminars in three different territories.

Our unique youthful yet professional approach,

has made us one of young people’s and

organizations’ first choices when it comes to

creating strong, responsible, ethical and motivated

leaders of tomorrow who can add value to the

Jordanian community.

As we mark our fifth anniversary and achievement

of 5 generations of AIESEC Jordan members, we

in AIESEC Jordan find ourselves ready to unleash

our potential and take our impact to the next level

by expanding our presence and impact to new

territories, launching new concrete initiatives and

engaging more young people into what we do, in

order to activate the potential of more responsible

leaders who can positively impact Jordan.

This report is the summary of our main

achievements in the past 5 years, and a very small

token of our appreciation and gratitude for our

partners, supporters, members and alumni who

made all of this possible.

Thank you,

Best Wishes,

Zaid AlBitar

AIESEC JORDAN (جمعية تنمية مهارات الشباب القيادية)

AIESEC in Jordan (جمعية تنمية مهارات الشباب القيادية) is a non-political, non-governmental, non-for-profit

organization, registered at the Jordanian Ministry of Interior, aims to develop the leadership potential of

university students and recent graduates in Jordan enabling them to become globally-minded leaders who

have the ability to positively impact their local community.

Establishment: AIESEC in Jordan was established in June 2006 when AIESEC International envisioned an AIESEC

expansion in the middle east-particularly the Levant region. While at first both Jordan and Lebanon were

nominated to be official expansion countries, the political unrest in Lebanon forced AIESEC to put the

initiative to a halt and move forward with Jordan, initially chosen as one of the strongest knowledge-based

societies in the MENA region.

The start-up team of AIESEC in Jordan was a team of selected international students from different regions

whom have had a strong leadership within AIESEC, and were assigned for the responsibility of starting up

AIESEC in Jordan and prepare the next generation of students in Jordan to lead the organization.

Structure: AIESEC Jordan's structure is focus around flexibility and efficiency, while ensuring a governance and

accountability system. A National Member Committee is responsible for the strategic development of the

association, while Local Chapters are responsible for drawing local strategies and taking charge of

operations on the ground.

association to make systematic changes that enable the association to not only fulfill its promises of the past five years, but

also start a new promise for the next 5 years to come, and continue to keep the organization relevant and providing quality

experiences for its stakeholders on every level.

A message from the team of 2010/2011 to the members of AIESEC in Jordan: “The beauty of AIESEC, is that it allows every new generation of young bright individuals, to connect together and work

together on redefining what AIESEC really is, and this is the power we put in your hands as we hand over the organization to

you by the end of our ter- after all this is YOUR platform to develop, so take on the challenges AIESEC put in your way, live

the experience and take ownership over the responsibilities 5 generations have passed on to you, create great experiences

full of impact for you and others and enjoy this unforgettable journey!”

The Alumni Foundation is an initiative by AIESEC Jordan’s National Committee 2010/2011 that aims to reconnect

the alumni of AIESEC in Jordan to utilize their experiences in developing new generations within the association

as well as to provide a support network for those graduates as they head for their career future after AIESEC.

In December 2010, AIESEC Jordan concluded the first alumni meeting in which they drew the first guidelines for

the foundation; specifying alumni policies, projects, and what incentives AIESEC Jordan can offer to its alumni to

engage them and reconnect them to the association.

In January 2011, the alumni foundation became a completely independent organization with 45 active members

that is self-governed, and managed by an elected team of coordinators:

Mr. Mohammad Momani – Alumni Foundation President

Mr. Qais Al Kurdi - Alumni-alumni Projects Coordinator

Ms. Mais Al Muhtaseb - Alumni-AIESEC Projects Coordinator

AIESEC JORDAN ALUMNI FOUNDATION

“Having had the chance to experience a life changing experience

through AIESEC helped me personally develop and sculpt a set of

unique skills related to business environment and behavior,

community projects and services and an understanding of the local,

regional and international market.

Being an AIESEC member has paid off after 3-4 years of corporate

work in Jordan and the region, and it is only a belief that when the time

comes, my role is to give back to the talented developing Jordanian

youth that are investing into becoming change agents and active

members of their communities.

Our role as alumni steering committee will be to provide full support

and inputs for AIESEC leading teams and local members here in

Jordan. And invest in creating an active body that is willing to help

and support the members of AIESEC Jordan.”

resources for their livelihood.

As an issue-based project launched by AIESEC Jordan’s local chapter in Amman in 2009,

future social, economic, and environmental challenges.
