The HR plan for AIESEC Sydney was adjusted to aim for 40 members, including 10 X+Ls and 15 Ls. During recruitment they achieved 48 members, falling short of some targets but converting many expressions of interest. They held a conference called Activ8 to activate new members rather than interviews. Retention was 90% with 43 of 48 members staying. They have had 3 X+Ls so far and have an X+L pipeline and dedicated program planned. A variety of bonding and leadership events have been held including Amazing Race and an eating contest. A new performance analysis system was introduced using a mathematical model. A mentorship program was expanded and an EP Buddy System was planned. Alumni integration initiatives included an alumni night

4. TM Recruitment We carried out a successful recruitment at the beginning of year. Mentioned below were the numbers we aimed to achieve at recruitment 600 O-week sign ups 70-100 attending info sessions 50 applications 35 members Numbers we achieved 300 O-week sign ups 160 attended info sessions 80 applications 48 members (includes retained members from 2010). We did not meet our target O-week stall sign ups, but we worked really hard towards pushing people to attend info sessions We also successfully converted a large number of expression-of-interest into applications. We believe we recruited some of the most enthusiastic people who turned out to become fantastic AIESECers.

6. Instead, we decided to have a small scale conference to give our to-be members a chance to get a feel of the AIESEC culture.

7. Hence, we organized Activ8 Conference – where our only objective was to activate the AIESEC in each of our new members.

8. It was a very successful event and we believe it is one of the reasons we are very well bonded.

19. The kind of bond we have formed as AIESECers at AIESEC Sydney has never been seen before.

21. The AIESEC Sydney Amazing Race

22. Gaming Night

23. Easter Show outing

24. Eating contest (as bizarre as this sounds, it actually happened)

25. Some of the events in the pipeline:

26. AIESEC Sydney Sports Day

27. Movie Marathon

28. X+L Training Day

29. All of the events that we have had so far have been very successful with a turn-up rate of almost 65%-70%

32. So far, we were only basing our analysis on observations and Personal Learning Plans

33. As a result, we decided to have a TM member dedicated to this.

34. We have come up with an elaborate spreadsheet for each member with a detailed mathematical model to take each aspect of our member’s AIESEC Experience into consideration.

35. The general system is that we measure performance based on the member’s expectations from AIESEC.

37. This year, this program is basically catered to the LCP, EB and the leaders of the LC.

38. Based on the feedback from the current participants of the program, we will extend it to the rest of the members as well as the region, next year.

41. We successfully organized the Regional Alumni Night along with University Relations portfolio.

42. We also utilized the Alumni night as a platform to attract the Alumni to the Mentorship Program.
