The document discusses the author's strategy for improving AIESEC Romania. The strategy focuses on two key areas: 1) Ensuring the organization's financial sustainability by generating more revenue from external stakeholders and creating products that meet market needs. 2) Empowering local committees to become self-managed and able to obtain their own resources, while also improving collaboration across the organization. The goal is to help AIESEC Romania grow beyond its current limitations and have a greater positive impact on young people in Romania and worldwide.

1. For two years, I have been part of AIESEC Romania and have witnessed the
amazing things it does. Just from my example, it took a mediocre student with no future
perspectives and pushed him into doing and learning things he never thought possible.
From commuting a few days each week from one city to another just to be part of
AIESEC, to founding and leading AIESEC in his hometown, just after a few months of
experience.This story isn’t just mine, I was just one other actor, because people before
me, people who I worked with in EBs and LC and so many other people in AIESEC
Romania did the same things. They invested, they pushed themselves and proved that
impossibility is just another challenge to overcome and they still do it time and time
again, just to make sure we develop amazing people who will have that positive impact
in society we need so bad.
So my strategy (just like this organization) is all about the people – AIESEC
Romania’s members who deserve an organization that fully supports them, their needs
and their ambitions and that challenges them to grow beyond their limitations.
My first focus is on AIESEC Romania ensuring financial sustainability working
more with the external environment and our stakeholders. In order to be able to invest
more in our members we need to include this investment in our financial sustainability
plan, which means we need to generate more revenue. Every need we have comes
from our maket and stakeholders and every success and objective depends on them
aswell. Not only they provide resources, but also education for our members and whole
organization. It’s imperative that we are updated with the market and that we create
products to suit both our needs.
Another important thing is to make sure AIESEC Romania works properly as one
organization and to do so, we need everyone to pull together. I want to concentrate on
helping every LC become self manageable, aware of its capabilities and having the
know-how to get the resources in order to perform above standards. As important as all
this, and probably even more is learning how to use the network and collaborate among
eachother, for mutual results.
By combining the first two directions, we can create an organization with the
capability to grow beyond previous limitations and receive the official aknowledgements
it deserves. Sure, it requires some changes and that takes time, but still the biggest one
is to actually start exploring every possibility we have at our disposal.
These are the steps I see AIESEC Romania taking and I wish we take them
together, as one organization, because we’re not doing it just for ourselves, but for
every young person in Romania and the world.
