Do you think your PBOX model could be duplicated across the whole GN?

Then maybe this email is right for you!

Dear AIESECers from across the Asia Pacific,

The Heroes Project 2007-08 PBOX Competition is now open.

For the term 2007-2008, along with all entrepreneurship PBOXs of all kinds being able to tie into the Heroes Project initiative, the initiative is taking the next step forward by designing one single PBOX that will be used as the key driver across the network, and be the major focus of implementation support for the APGN Project Manager.

To design this PBOX we are looking for the successful PBOX examples that have been run across the GN, and that is where this competition comes in. By entering the PBOX who are running or have run in your country, if your PBOX wins, its model will be used as the base of design for the Heroes Project Key PBOX for the 07-08 term, and your PBOX will help the growth of IBXP across the whole GN!

We are looking for PBOXs relating to the fields of Corporate Entrepreneurship (including Business Expansion) and Social Entrepreneurship.

Do you think your PBOX has what it takes to drive growth across the GN? Enter today by downloading the competition pack here

From 1st of June until 15th of July we are expecting that the 100 AIESEC countries and territories to realize 1000 X. This is around 25% growth compared with the same period next year at the moment when we need this stretch. But how can we measure our success?

The country that has the highest growth compared with last year wins!

We have the list with all the Exchanges realized by your country for the same period of last year so we will track it every 2 weeks!

• Promote the initiative to all the members that you know. Everyone should know about 1000!
• Match fast and realize even Faster
• Create a platform that allows to everyone to contribute

Tip! Go to your TN/SN Match Monitor and see the status of all exchange forms in your country or LC. If you have forms on matched that have been already realized (so the intern already started the internship) make sure you change the staus to realized! These forms count in the competition!

AND HKU, CUHK & HKUST are on the TOP 150 X-ing LCs !
Congratulations to the good work and let us work even harder to achieve even higher results!
