How does this experience

8. Align with your future plans?
As a newie i always knew that I would run for VP-TM position in my LC Catholic
university but the idea of joining the MC in another country never crossed my mind.
Desire has for a while been my motivation for the choices that I make in my
life.Right now I have the desire to go out of my comfort zone.i would have been
comfortable with joining the MC in Kenya or getting a job here in a law firm but now
I dare go out of this zone because of my desire to discover myself more.

understanding people from a different culture.

9. Describe an experience when you failed. What did you learn from the experience?
I applied to facilitate in BELDS but I was not chosen. My international experience
was not up to par. I learnt that one failed opportunity is a gate way for a new and
better opportunity and that I should strive to attend an participate in more
international opportunities. If had gone for BELDS I would not have found out about
this other international opportunity.

10. What has been your contribution to the current state of your LC/MC?
As a member one of the weaknesses I saw was the gap between members and the
EB I have greatly contributed to the narrowing of the gap by use of weekly non
formal bonding meetings .I do believe that as members of the same organization
there is no need to act as though a position make us better than the rest .
What is the relevance of the AIESEC Experience in Uganda?
Taking this xp into consideration I would be able to ensure that there is no gap
between the members and the alumni. Members should always be aware of who
their alumni and learn from their experiences through meeting regularly in non
formal arenas and formal.
What is your leadership style? What do you believe will be the strengths and
potential pitfalls of applying this style to your MC team?

11. Democratic or participative-I believe in including members in decision making
process and still in the long run maintain the decision making authority.
Strength-I will be able to give members a chance to participate in decision making thus
feel like they are a useful part of the organization.
-Due to member participation new innovative ideas will bring in creativity.
Pitfall-iit could lead politics within the organization if not well regulated.
Identify three key trends that are affecting Uganda and explain how those trends
are influencing AIESEC in Uganda’s contribution, structures and processes?
Global economic crunch-this could creatly affect the taking of interns by
companies .AIESEC Uganda will have to change their strategy on how to approach
companies and how eXchange is packaged.
Government engaging in youth activities- contribution will be empowering the youth
and creating more opportunities for the youth.
Rise in CSR within the corporate world. - We can get interns to work in CSR
departments in companies or organize CSR events hence increasing AIESEC Uganda
relation in the corporate sector. Processes will change as we will approach new

12. companies hence creating a network of contacts.
What do you see as AIESEC Uganda’s critical area(s) of success in the coming 2
years?
Exchange
Alumni engagement
Quality membership.

13. What role should AIESEC Uganda play in the International Network and the
African GN by the end of 2010? What should we do to get to that point?
The role to be played in the International Network is in terms of number of members
in leadership and number of eXchanges realized in order to contribute in the
sustainability of the Global Network.
In the Africa GN it will be the same as the International focus but in addition is to
help Africa GN to be the best GN and AIESEC in Uganda being the best out of all
African countries.
To get to that point, AIESEC Uganda should bid for International Conferences like IC,
IPM and AFROX because it will give us a big chance to solidify partnerships with
multi national companies.
Have eXchange focused on specific sectors hence more results due to specialization.
