Starting on the first of August 2016, the new members of the fifty-fourth Comité Directeur have started working, and one thing is for sure; they want to become more inclusive in the network.
Talking to the members of CD 54, it has become clear that they want to show themselves more to the members of AEGEE. Past CD members have often stated, and arguably acted accordingly, that they wanted to serve the network.
In the past, when AEGEE was substantially smaller, this may have been an easy feat. But, today, there’s a lot more of AEGEE and a lot more bureaucracy. That’s why it’s one of the primary goals of this CD to break through the bureaucracy and be directly in touch with the locals.
To the average member of AEGEE, the CD members are often some far off, possibly elitist bunch that are doing some stuff for AEGEE and are networking with the moguls of Europe during the rest of their time. This is a negative stereotype that this CD wants to break; they really want to show who the face behind the emails is.
The AEGEEan got a chance to see all of the faces of the new Comité Directeur and to ask them some questions. The interview will be published on the 20th of August, and it contains some really interesting and exiting plans. Surely worthwhile to check out.
