• Skype ID: daniel.corrales5
• Languages: Native Spanish, Excellent english and basic german
• This application is for the role of NST
Expansions for the period of 6 months, but
given theres already three months that
have passed since the initial time period
started, any questions regarding the lenght
of my term can be discused, always
thinking of 6 months as the minimum.
• First entered AIESEC in the first National
Introductory Seminar in Costa Rica, 2013.
• Started as a Team Member for oGIP,
where I learned AIESEC basics and raised
my first EP.
• Served as OCVP Special details for a
National Event in late 2013.
• Served as VP ICX in UNA from January to
June 2014.
• I am currently working as OCVP Logistics
for a National Conference (Step Up).
My experience in KammSum, a
Middle Management 5 day conference
in Germany, as the knowledge i gained
there has proved more than valuable
for my personal and AIESEC goals.
My VP Term, as working as a VP in the
ICX area, focused on both Sales and
RA-MA-RE was challenging and made
me recognize my personal
weaknesses and strengths, and gave
me a deeper understanding on
AIESEC procedures as well as
gaining experience on team
management.

• One of my main motivations for applying
for NST is because i am well aware of the
POTENTIAL AIESEC in Costa Rica has,
and i want to be part of the people who
help to make it GROW to meet AIESEC
2015!
• Getting to know how
national strategies are managed and
implemented
• Knowing how Costa Rican
social structure works and directing that to
AIESEC Start-Up Units, supporting SUPs and SU Managers.
• The work was well oriented with the MC.
• International NST members aligned accordingly with
Costa Rican reality.
• There was not enough LCVP to NST coordination.
• AIESEC C-R’s membership was not aware of NST
work or results for the country.
• MC can align goals with LCVP’s directly
through NSTs!
• NSTs results can be exposed to a major
degree!
• LC’s can be more active in National
Strategy Planning!
• NST and MC should have a close working
relationship, given that the success of both
depends on coordinated work and early
goal and expectation settings.
• Given the recent growth of LC Growth in
Costa Rica, and that being but the start of
the MC’s efforts to make a better Costa
Rica through AIESEC, my point of view is
that Costa Rica must push farther than
ever in terms of exchange results, so as to
become stable and relevant regionally.
• Through smart positioning and hard
working, my contribution will be to make
professionalize the approach AIESEC
Costa Rica makes to new colleges, who
will become in time the new SUs and LCs
of AIESEC C.R.
• AIESEC in UNA has been, since I started my AIESEC career and due to leadership or results problems on the verge of closing or downgrading to SU. Previously as a Team Member and more recently as a VP I have been well aware of what this represented for the comitee and its members, and worked to ensure the entity advanced to the next level.
• Thanks to this, the Start-Up evolution is not unknown to me.
Given the Expansion has 3 months running and has gone already through Ra-Ma-Re, the next step would be the focusing on getting strong bases for it to apply to higher levels of development and responsability, such as an Initiative Group and eventually a fully independent LC. This involves achieving:
• Strong NGO relationships
• Strong university relation
• Active membership criteria
Right now, as is the interest of the MC to support Start Ups, the market requirements are as follow:
• Must have the campus in the Central Valley.
• Classes should be given in semesters, and it is much easier to offer GCDP in longer breaks than 2-3 week breaks given by quadrimesters.
• Candidates should have a career affinity with AIESEC (as Management, for example).
