Paul says goodbye to Oz

Paul was a student from Germany, beginning his masters at Curtin when he was recruited into AIESEC in semester 1 2006. Since joining he has been a member of the incoming exchange team and has attended 2 national conferences and 2 state conferences. The Curtin LC is proud to be sending him to an amazing internship in Canada. He will be Curtin's 3rd SN. With studies in media management and a range of experiences Paul is going to be working for Nortel, a large multinational telecommunications company. More specifically Paul will be involved in the marketing side of the organisation and will go through the graduate leadership 2 year rotational program.

About 25 people went to Paul's farewell dinner last night. Paul was overwhelmed with hugs, presents and best wishes.

You can follow Paul's adventure at http://www.paul-krajewski.de/

All the best Paul- we hope it will be a great life changing experience.

State Manager Update

23rd May Regional Social Drinking

We've been too soft for too long! Its time to actually go and do some drinking! I'm recently single. Come help me celebrate! :) We will be at Carnegies from 8pm-ish. Already been a few people letting me know they will be there, so yay!

27th June Conference prep day

Getting excited and pumped and prepared for the biggest conference in my ENTIRE AIESEC EXPERIENCE...

JULY CONFERENCE!!!

Tuesday July 3rd - State Manager Day (not required for everyone else)

Wednesday July 4th - National Leadership Team Day & Opening night (not required for everyone else but opening night SO IS!)
Thursday July 5th - Sub-committees Day & Bar Hop (we are in Melbourne after all)
Friday July 6th - Youth Impact Seminar (YIS)
Saturday July 7th - DLD
Sunday July 8th - Global Village
Monday July 9th to Saturday July 14th - Conference
Sunday 15th - Weds 18th (or so...TBC) Post Conference (there are rumours of a ski trip...)
Start looking at flights now guys, you can get them fairly cheap...it will seriously be the biggest conference for a long time! Most states are looking at delegations in the 40 or so member vicinity so that guarantees a massive conference!

25th July AIESEC Mid Year Reward and Recognition

This is the night where we recognise the achievements of AIESEC WA members during the first half of the year. Awards criteria will be released soon by the regional board. This night is an opportunity to mingle with fellow AIESEC members from around the region, alumni and key stakeholders. This will be at the Broken Hill Hotel, on Albany Hwy with time to be confirmed.

And remember - if you ever have anything you want to discuss with the regional board about what you think AIESEC should be doing in this state, don't hesitate to talk to any of us - myself, Shez or Viv. Some other exciting things...Applications for International Congress 2007 have recently been released. This will be held in Turkey this year, from the 18th - 30th August. Talk to a friendly RB member if you are interested.

12th April Opening Breakfast

A stakeholder networking breakfast for our members, stakeholders, and to be opened up to the wider university community. Very similar to the ECOMs breakfast for those that are familiar with it, but not so much about finding a job!

12th - 14th April STATE CONFERENCE!
The biggest thing this year- 60+ people from around the state coming together for three days of AIESEC knowledge, leadership and management coaching and FUN.

27th April Portfolio training
