Message from MC 15.16
Determination, dedication, courage, action and
optimism are what have taken from the very first moment
of our term as a Team, towards driving our common stand
in empowering Benin to amplify our relevance
and impact together. As we look forward to the next
generation of leaders for AIESEC in Benin we expect
nothing less than passionate dreamers who are able to look
and act beyond the standard way of doing AIESEC.
We are not promising the smoothness of the ride while in
MC… Frankly, it is the most challenging role we have ever
taken, but it worth it till the end.
Candidates should have in mind the continuity of the
current strategies and drivers of the network in order to
manage the long-term growing path for this amazing entity.
We would like to thank you in advance for your interest in
being part of the Member Committee of AIESEC in Benin
and we wish you best of luck in the process as we stay
available to support you.
Best Regards
