AIESEC in Finland kicked 2014 off with National Conference, this time hosted by AIESEC Aalto in Helsinki on Jan 17th-19th. Here are Piia and Talvikki's experiences from NatConf -14.
"NatConf (National conference), which is one
of the four conferences organized in Finland yearly, was this time held in
Helsinki. NatConf can be said to be one of the most important conferences for
AIESEC Finland as a whole, since it is the one where the new national board
will be selected. Thus, the conference is basically organized around the
elections and all the activities included to the selection process. Again this
year, we got to hear convincing speeches from the candidates some of which were
attending the selection process through Skype. As members we also got the
chance to “interrogate” the candidates in the Questions & Answers –session
and see which of the candidates would be the most suitable ones to lead the
organization in the coming term. After the strict selection process the
following candidates were selected: Olga as the new member committee president
(head of the board) and Silke Hoffmann, Ville Vuorinen and Pranav Pandit as
vice presidents. Three of the vice president positions are still open and the
second round of applications has already been opened. After the elections it
was time to review what had been happening in the different local committees
during the past few months and start planning the rest of the term. Soon it is
time to start selecting the new executive board in Jyväskylä as well.
Our delegation in the conference was a
small but effective one, and despite the little waiting caused by the election,
we enjoyed the conference. Especially the gala dinner on Saturday evening was a
great addition to the normal conference routine! We got to dress up of course,
had a nice dinner with a live music performance by Alexandra from the MC, and
met alumni from all over Finland, including Jyväskylä"
