Summarize Timeline
This is essentially our LC. We spend frivolously and at the end of our term, we pass on the debt to someone else.
We will begin with a rhetorical question moving towards the theme of the conference.
We are here because it was a choice, and it will always be a choice.
The choices we make, shape who we are and so make the judgments that will lead us to greatness.
This is our team stand
Expectation Setting:
-Choose to be present
-Choose to learn
-Choose to participate
-Choose to improve
-Choose to bring it back to your LC
This is the purpose of finance. Operations can easily be distracted and they will not be able to come together and unify, thus finance is needed to be the clear connection between the functions.
But we must first take that responsibility, have ownership. Then we must keep others accountable to not only their goals, but their progress.
With that expectation. Welcome to AIESEC US.
Explain the walking man’s significance.
“The walking man is differentiated. It is a man that decides to take the further step away from the masses. As an AIESEC member we strive to always be ahead of the curve and be the leader that we want to be. To be ahead, to be great.”
At our business model
Exchange Program
Summer, but now Winter because we need it.
15 LCs are projected to be in debt.
These questions are meant to be basic, they are meant to show the people that their LC are full of resource.
Ask them and try to get them to think about each member as a resource.
Example: We had a member that was a zumba instructor and instead of us coming with a mediocre roll call we had her create one that was amazing! She was also someone that could promote AIESEC in her classes.
If you members have membership else where do not waste that. Your members are not just a tool, they have conenctions
LCPs/VPF
Major Expenses: Conferences and Marketing Effort
Optional: varies on the LC, but examples are Retreats, Flights, IXP
Strategic
What does a finance member do daily?
Manage: the overall expenses of the LC, ensure that all expesnes are low. Members can elect to manage event expenses, attendeance expenses (this should be only be on the EB)
Investing: Looking into ways to improve the LC by investment. Investments does not always mean money: Guest Speakers, donations, evaluating the resources the LC has (Membership has connection, BoA has connections)
20% of the job is managing and tracking, 80% is on finding opportunities for the operations to constantly improve
Tracking: Accounting, you will need to learn to code
At the end of the day, finance is a skill, it takes experience and we do not require that you understand all of it. However, practicing, asking the right question is what is takes. And honestly Logic will help with our jobs. That’s it.
We need to understand exactly what to budget
Have them present what they have.
Point out what is missing
Help them explore
Add in other issues: 3 LCs suddenly got disbanded
Food is up to them
Have them present what they have.
Point out what is missing
Help them explore
Add in other issues: 3 LCs suddenly got disbanded
It is in your power to ensure this doesn’t happen. Regardless whether you are a VP or a member, you have a duty to safeguard this LC in any way.
Imagine, being able to say “I oversaw a national meeting, usually they run at a loss, but because of my work I ensured it ends positive.
They should have looked into their resources (food sponsorship, monetary, donations etc)
We keep hearing that finance is back office, it is true but it does not mean it is passive. It is something that is in back office to see every function but it’s job is to be aggressive
We must identify the risk for the organization. It is our power. With great power comes great reponsibility
You need to motivate them. From the budgeting session, we see that we all have the power to manage finance. And I know that you can manage finance because you are here
