New Version of Blogger

All in favour of switching to the new version of blogger, make some form of affirmatory remark (foreign languages accepted).

If the switch is made, all those with old blogger accounts will have to upgrade in order to post to the blog.

Alberta Saskatchewan Seminar!!!

It's not long now, the much-talked-about Alberta / Saskatchewan Seminar is right around the corner! Don't miss out!!! Join us as AIESEC Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, and maybe even Manitoba get together for 3 days of learning, bonding, and fun! ASS is a conference for both new and experienced members. Co-Chairs, Jill Oilver and Andy Tse (AIESEC Saskatoon alumni) will lead delegates through various stages of the AIESEC Experience.

To increase the importance of this once "social seminar", LCP's of Saskatoon, Calgary, and Edmonton have worked to provide meaningful sessions for all members. For those who are just joining AIESEC and completed Common Induction, simulation and goal setting exercises will prepare you to take responsibility in your home Local Committees. Experienced members will be able to network with other EB's and share & compare year plans for the coming term. A leadership development session led by the University of Saskatchewan will be open to all members to help prepare for the future.
