Stakeholders Reception Program June 2012 (includes Calendar of Events)

1. Nemati Collection
1059 Third Avenue

2. Program
Ken Phillips (NCP 64-66) will brief us on the AAI Transformation Project to Unleash AIESEC’s Global
Potential. Ken attended AAIM in Hungary in February 2012, where a new board was elected with
a mandate to unite the 46 national AIESEC alumni associations into a global organization with
common goals and initiatives. Ken is leading a team to tweak the mission statement and branding
aspects of the project.
AIESEC alumni have long believed in the impact we can have in the world, but for more than 50
years, despite enthusiasm, very hard work, and the best of intentions, we have remained a
sleeping giant. We have a choice to make: keep our alumni effort as it is or transform it into the
highperforming giant we know it can be.

4. Why are we a sleeping giant?
Shifting context
- includes revolutionary entry of
global internet and social media
Lack of management “muscle power”
- continuous turnover, dispersion and
availability issues
Inadequate organizational structure
Funding challenges
Change has not been easy!
1. Define a shared vision for unleashing our
global alumni potential
2. Map out a time-phased plan that will make it
happen
3. Seek a consensus on our way forward by the
end of the conference
