Quite often after being involved in AEGEE work on full-time basis, lots of AEGEE members are leaving AEGEE “to get some rest”. \u00a0However, the candidate for Chair Team Alla Resheten, whose name is usually followed by countless AEGEE titles, is not tired. “How you can be tired from something you thoroughly enjoy?”, says Alla. The AEGEEan was lucky enough to catch her in minutes of rest from thousands of tasks and ask a few questions.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The AEGEEan:<\/em> Dear Alla, congratulations with your candidature for Chair Team! As a well-known person in AEGEE, active in organisation for a while now, please tell us, after one year spent in the Comit\u00e9 Directeur (CD) and working full-time in AEGEE as Secretary General, how did you not get \u201cAEGEE allergy\u201d and you remained an active member?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alla:<\/em> Thank you! It is a good question. Indeed, 90% of CD members leave AEGEE right at the end of their term or become just \u201cvisiting from time to time\u201d members of their locals. I think it all depends a lot on the team you were working and living with for one year and all other people you have shared this year of incredible experiences with. I was very lucky to work with incredible people who have became not only my AEGEE friends, but also friends for my life beyond AEGEE. And for such people I am still in AEGEE and willing to give back more to this organisation.<\/p>\n

Interesting fact that not everybody knows – our team (the Comit\u00e9 Directeur 2010-2011) was really exceptional; we are the only ones who managed to finish the term with the same people we started with! And almost all of us have stayed pretty involved in the fields we were working on during our term.<\/p>\n

Why did you decide to candidate for the Chair Team? Why not Network Commission or SUCT?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is very simple – I love to do this work! Of course, a lot depends on the team that I will work with in case I am elected, but on the other hand my background as Secretary General and Local Organiser of the Autumn Agora Kyiv in 2009 will be very handy for everyone working in the team.<\/p>\n

Tell us, please, how do you prepare yourself for Agora Budapest and presenting your candidature in front of 800 people?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A lot of people with whom I have worked within last years in AEGEE are supporting me in my decision. Their trust in me and my work is one of the most important parts of my candidature, and I know that they will be with me during my presentation. This gives me a lot of inspiration!<\/p>\n

Project leader of the Eastern Partnership project, member of Mediation Commission, now running for Chair Team. Is there anything else you do in AEGEE that people do not know of yet?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is already quite some things, don\u2019t you think so? Apart from everything you have mentioned, during September and October I am also working as a Chair shadower.<\/p>\n

How do you manage to work full-time in a serious company, dedicate time to your family, and with this to do ten thousand different AEGEE tasks? Where is Alla’s battery hidden?<\/strong><\/p>\n
