2006-2007 EB Trip Away

2007-07-10T11:05:00.000+10:00

EB Trip Away...

We had our EB Trip away just before the term ended as EB of @ Waikato. It was an awesome way to end the year.

We started the day visiting the Information center in Matamata, then went to the best cafe in New Zealand for lunch. We saw many odd things in the cafe.. such as random cameras hanging on the wall, random photos, and even a coffin.. :-)

Then we went tramping at Wairere Falls. The scenery was beautiful and the was walk was so fun. We are thinking of making this into an annual event - EB of 2006-2007 annual trip.

Then we went a nice long and relaxing spa at Simone's parent's house. After the very relaxing spa, we had some traditional dutch food. It was different but nice as well.. and this was topped off with a fruit fondue.

We left for Tauranga after a very nice dinner and checked out the night life in Tauranga. It was very windy but we survived the night and went to a small cafe for some food afterwards.

The EB elects for 2007-2008 are.... (drum rolls please)

Dear Alumni,

Since 1978, generations and generations of AIESECers have walked through AIESEC, each making their own special contribution towards achieving our vision, each making it possible for the current members to live their AIESEC Experiences. It is important for us that our Alumni connect with each other and connect back to AIESEC. The potential and impact of a network of so many individuals who have one thing in common – the experience of once being involved as AIESEC members - is one that we need to tap into, to benefit bothour Alumni and AIESEC.It is on that thought that we have organised this special event for our Alumni.

Covering topics like goal setting, time management and work life balance, Chris will bring you a fun and a practical session. Come along and feel the power of the network, re-connect with Alumni and plugback to the AIESEC world. Don’t forget to send this to your alumni friends and take them with you! We cordially invite you to AIESEC NEW ZEALAND ALUMNI FUNCTION Network. Connect. Engage.

Congratulations Sarah Ng! Sarah from AIESEC Waikato has been selected by Asia New Zealand together with Rucha from AIESEC Auckland to represent AIESEC in New Zealand at the Asia NZ: Young Leadership Forum!

After the selection of four candidates from AIESEC in New Zealand, Asia New Zealand expressed interest in seeing a more diverse group of young Asians particularly those from India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Therefore we opened up special applications for members from those countries. Asia New Zealand originally offered two places and then three places but they decided to choose two of our members to participate. Each member sent their CV into Asia New Zealand for the selection process. We would like to thank Asia New Zealand for giving us this opportunity and hopefully we will be able to continue this relationship next year for more opportunities for our members. Thank you to all the applicants who took up the challenge of applying!

New Zealand Leadership Development Seminar: BEYOND LIMITS!

2006-08-30T06:48:00.000+10:00

Register before the 7th of September!

Years ago, it was believed that no human being could ever break the 4 minute mile barrier. But after Roger Bannister broke it, many more replicated his feat within weeks. Why? Because he showed people what was possible. And then armed with that belief, people did the impossible.

What's your 4 minute mile? What bill of goods have you sold yourself as to what's impossible? What false assumptions are you making in terms of what you cannot have, do and be? What limits do you have today that are preventing you from discovering a whole set of new possibilities?

We invite you to join us in one of New Zealands biggest conferences during the year BEYOND LIMITS 2006 - The New Zealand Leadership Development Seminar: Discover what opportunities are out there for you and to challenge yourself in taking a leap forward in your leadership abilities.

From the 21st till 24 September 2006 in Wellington

We offer two tracks (Induction and Leadership Track) for the following delegate profile:

New members, who have gone through a basic induction and now are preparing for taking responsibility stage.

Senior members, who passed intro and taking responsibility stage and who are preparing or are currently in the leadership stage.

Click on this link to register:

http://www.aiesec.net/members/ai/newzealand/survey/respond?survey_id=45379698&return_url=/members/ai/newzealand/one-community
