Reflection: My first global virtual team experience

Today I suddenly started reflecting about another team I was involved in the years with AIESEC.

Those days there was a global virtual team known as the 'Suxxess Network Drive Team' which was made up of people from all over the world with the responsibility of collecting Best Case Practices ( now called Good Case Practices) and to share these within the network.

During 2003 when I was LCVP elect I applied for this team and got selected...and was working with the people virtually for one year or so.

Some friends from the team....

Kristin ( Norway) - was the AI Responsible for the team and coordinated the team
Bior ( Ghana)
Annesh ( India)
Doris ( Germany)
Kenoma ( Nigeria)
Joannah ( Colombia)

Just thinking about it today, I noticed that I have been connected to many of them in one way or the other since then. ( and has been in touch with them at least once since then )

Kristin - Was Chair for IPM 2006 which i was attending as MCP

Bior - His friendship was one reason that I applied for AIESEC in Ghana ( though I didnt get a response from them on the selection) and he was in Sri Lanka for IPM 2004 as MCP

Kenoma - I was making sure he was selected for CC for IPM 2004 ( though he couldnt make it at the end) and met him at IPM 2006 and IC 2006

Doris - First person I knew who went to Afghanistan ( She was on a CEED there) and one inspiration for me to want to go to Afghanistan ( I am currently talking with them about doing a CEED there)

Also later working with me on Suxxess Network Drive team was Ego ( Nigeria), who then came on an International MC to Sri Lanka to work with me during my MCVP term.

My first virtual team experience, had left a big impression on me, more than I realized in fact.

AIESEC is an Experience and its meant to be lived to the fullest !!!
