    Held at Penang, this years Transition Camp was surely a blast! Intense

    pre-planning and discussions paired with case studies and personality

    tests have made the incoming Management Team of 2010/2011 feel like

    they have their hands full!

    It was with great gusto that we began the transition camp at Golden View

    Serviced Apartments, Tanjung Bungah, Penang. The camp started off with

    personal exploration and why we need different INDIVIDUALS to make a

    TEAM. Afterwards, we had sessions that delve into parts of AIESEC that are

    necessary to achieve sustainable growth. Presentations of the various

    functional areas of AIESEC in UUM were also done to ensure everyone

    knows what others are doing.

    Nevertheless, they are more than up for the challenge!

    Transition Camp 2010This years National Pioneers Conference will

    be held in Penang with Universiti Sains

    Malaysia as the hosting Local Committee!

    The Talent Management Department of AIESEC in Universiti Utara Malaysia has recently conducted a skills workshop for the current

    and incoming Executive Board and Management Team members.

    We had four amazing speakers on personal grooming, professional etiquette, formal communication and protocol. These decorated

    speakers are no doubt the cream of the crop of what Universiti Utara Malaysia has to offer and they had graced us with theirwillingness to conduct our sessions. They are, in no particular order:

    Puan Siti Normala bt. Jailani, Lecture of Universiti Utara Malaysia, Consultant from i-COMTOUR Training and Consultancy had

    discussed at length on personal grooming and appearance in public. First impressions are always important!

    Professional etiquette had been covered by Encik Fauzi Mokhtar who is also of Universiti Utara Malaysia, and Consultant from i-

    COMTOUR Training and Consultancy . The way your bags are held, your speech and of course the way you carry yourself is important

    to personal branding and to what others perceive of you.

    Encik Azahari b. Abu Hassan from Universiti Utara Malaysia had serenaded us with details on event protocols. The order of guest

    arrivals, seating, letter formats, and dress is important to run a successful event.

    Formal letters of application, memorandums and fax cover sheets are examples of what were covered in the session with Puan

    Farhainis Md. Yusuf, Lecturer of Unversiti Utara Malaysua. Formats, headings and sign-offs are critical to maintain a professional

    image.

    AIESEC in Universiti Utara Malaysia would like to express deepest gratitude and appreciation for spending time with us and giving

    insightful knowledge.

    OF GREAT LOOKS, CHARISMA AND CONFIDENCE...

    ASIA PACIFIC EXCHANGE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SEMINAR 2010 in TAIWAN

    My very first international conference was the HEROES conference during October 2009, held in Taoyuan,

    Taiwan. In just six months time, I would have never expected to travel to Taiwan again for APXLDS 2010 (Asia

    Pacific Exchange and Leadership Development Seminar 2010). I couldnt describe my own feelings;

    because of AIESEC, I have had the opportunity to travel to Taiwan not once, but twice within half a year for

    two amazing conferences, HEROES 2009 and APXLDS 2010.

    In APXLDS, I was in the EXPro track. It was amazing to have met both outgoing and incoming Local

    Committee Presidents, Member Committee Presidents, and Member Committees from around Asia Pacific

    in that track. They are the elites; experienced leaders. It was a great experience to have experienced it all

    with them. In those six days, during every session and discussion (even lunch time), delegates wereSavvy,

    Smart, Strong and Fast. Professionalism is what I learnt about the most throughout the conference. In the

    EXpro track, it was all about international internships; AIESECers believe that an internship equals to one

    life changing experience. Ideas, strategies, analyses, and solutions were discussed within groups, in order

    to create more life change experiences, and to bring positive impact to the world.

    In personal, I think that at least one member to be send to this grand conference every year. It is just not

    about personal learning or bringing something new or initiative back to our LC. It is also about

    representative from Malaysia, showing that Malaysia delegation can also do well in international platformbecause we are the future leaders of Malaysia.

    Foo Jing Sheng,

    Local Committee President Elect, Term 2010/2011
