LCM 7

Veron, the HR director welcomes you to the wacky world of AIESEC

To all the Change Agents, welcome to the wonderful world of AIESEC, as you will soon learn that not only do we scream weird chants like lunatics and line dance like retards, we also drink like fishes.. OK, I joke!! AIESEC can also help you improve your leadership, challenge your world view and enable you to go on exchange, but it's all up to yourself to achieve all that.

That aside, it was great to see so many new members at the Local Committee Meeting(LCM) last Thursday, and from the feedback the LXS team's got from the members(the old farts), it was the most awesome LCM they've been to, getting to meet all these new members and just having a blast with the icebreaker games and speed dating 'AIESEC' style!

Anyways, here's what Stephanie Brophy, the newest member of the LXS team's got to say about what she thought of said LCM:

Hi AIESECers, My name's Steph, new member of the learning portfolio (LXS for those acronym fanatics). Us new members all trotted along to our first meeting (LCM) on Thursday evening, not really sure what to expect. What we found was some crazy antics... games, chants, funky dances. We learned a bit more about the organisation, including the various portfolios and opportunities, but more importantly, we felt included in a fun, vibrant community. It became quickly evident that everyone at AIESEC Melbourne is genuinely interested in their peers, and keen to listen to and learn from each other. That, or they just like to dance like chickens. The meeting really sparked my interest in the AIESEC experience. I'm now very much looking forward to knowing the people I met and becoming involved in AIESEC activities and events. I am definitely glad to have joined AIESEC, and hope to make it to the state and maybe national conferences, which everyone talks of with excitement, and maybe take part in an exchange opportunity in the coming years.

For the coming LCM, we'll be having a session on Personal Learning Plan, which is essentially goal setting and what do you see yourself doing in the future and how you're gonna work towards that goal.. and tons of other fun stuff we're gonna do, so I'll see you guys at the LCM
