My dear friends, this is a very important e-mail for me. As you know at the moment and since more then one year I'm working as Network Commissioner of this Region. But maybe not so many people at this time know in the past, before the last Agora in Athina, I have been SubCommissioner of the "Rainbow" Team. Before that wonderful (generally everybody has a great memory of that really great and well organized event) Davide Calenda was the NetCommie, and we were an enthusiastic team supporting his work. Besides me in that group there were people as Sasha Sirca (but fortunately she's still actively there!), Nicola Rega, Amedeo Ferrara, Francesca Fedrizzi, Fabrizio Fantini, Tamara Novak, Chiaretta Benetazzo, Angela Comand, Mladen Sucur, Giulietta Banzi. Believe me: that was a marvellous group! We worked a lot together and now we are still close friends. In AEGEE nothing can be really done without a great, strong group, friends. In that time as well as now! Even today there's a "Rainbow" Team working for AEGEE and for our Region. And even this one is a great group: Alberto Russo, Alice Traverso Bernini, Anita Duvnjak, Giselle Spiteri Miggiani, Sasha Sirca, Silvia Baita, Valentina Lucci, Vesna Simonovic. And this team is really lucky cause even something else, currently overloaded of work in other bodies, is still in close contact and is always disposed to give us a good suggestion or a pragmatic support with all their experience: friends as Nicola, Francesca, Amedeo, Davide, Fabrizio. Working in the Network Commission is always working with people and for people. And those people is the AEGEE people, then a group we already know and like, and a group we are always glad to spend wonderful time together with. But now the Rainbow Team needs you! We are searching for some new colleagues. We are searching people enthusiastic for AEGEE and ready to support AEGEE in our Region. The big goals of a SubCommie (as well as a NetCommie!) : 1) Supporting the development and the activities of the locals of the Region. 2) Motivating new people to join the European level of our association. Don't forget: joining the Rainbow Team you are already joining the European level, cause you start to work in the Network Commission. It's a very exciting new experience if you love AEGEE, and a great way for enlarging your vision of the association and for feeling much more involved. What are the requirements and the competences of a SubCommie? That's a typical question, and I like to answer telling that he/she must be able to speak with people, able to communicate enthusiasm and strength, to involve the interlocutors. This is for sure the most important point! If you are enthusiastic, communicative and helpful you're already a great SubCommie! At the moment, these are the general guidelines of our work: - Development of the communication in the Region through all of the means (mailing list, website, informal meetings, online forums etc.) - Support to the locals in administration, PR and FR - Support to the co-operation among the locals (not only of the locals inside the Region, but even the inter-regional co-operation!) - Support to the new locals specifically since the moment of the foundation to the upgrading to the status of "Antenna" - Support to some specific zone of the Region, first of all Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and Montenegro - Internal Education support to the locals - PR campaign within the Region, especially about Statutory and Internal Education events, but even about events organized by locals needing support - Promotion and support of projects involving "Rainbow" locals - Promotion of a general forum about the innovation, about new ideas and new ways to work in AEGEE If you like the idea to be involve in one or more of these actions, if you like the idea to work for you Region and then for AEGEE... just fill in this short form and send it to the e-mail address [log in to unmask] .
