Dear regionally friends, I have only one small but essential remark related to Liason Office besides all related information presented, I should add that since Agora Zaragoza, 2003 we focus our attention on the development of Liaison Agents, as well. Liaison Office gathers Liaison Officers, Liason Agents, Chairperson of Liaison Agents and up to tree Councillors all working for the benefits of our Association. Liaison Agents, who are representing the association, either towards governments, EU delegations, embassies, foundation, media, either companies and National Youth Councils. NYCs are platforms of NGOs in different countries, which might have a big impact on national youth policies, some funding possibilities and various opportunities for cooperation. AEGEE Liaison Agents towards respective National Youth Council will be representing AEGEE Europe in the NYC in most cases with observatory status, which means speaking, but not voting rights. Another special attention has been given to Liaison Agents towards companies who must raise funds for AEGEE-Europe. Additionally, they will help with FR for European projects and Working Groups of AEGEE. Chairperson of Liaison Agents would ensure proper information flow between AEGEE LAs and Comité Directeur, making sure that LAs follow AEGEE policies in their activities and that they are doing something in general ;) and also cooperates with LOs, can request at any time the support of the Councillors. Councillors support, with their experience, the work of Chairperson of LAs and the work of LOs, when is needed or requested. Congratulation to Rainbow Team for their constructive on-line lessons, by this I just want to keep you all up to date about AEGEE Liason Office;-) But more information concerning AEGEE-Liaison Office or LAs task and obligation, either check on www.aegee.org >> Virtual Office>> Status online Section for Corpus Juridicum Aegeense- CIA (14.1 version), either drop a mail to [log in to unmask] Kindest regards, (: adaR Chairperson of AEGEE- Liaison Agents (R`·. ¸¸. -> [log in to unmask] Tel: 004 0721 025 408 ----- Original Message ----- In the response of Marino Bresciani's mail The last body for this lesson: The Liaison Officers represent AEGEE-Europe towards an institution or organisation (for example UNESCO or European Youth Foundation). The CD decides for which institutions a LO should be appointed and decides on the person as well, after having addressed an open call (on the main mailing list) to the network. Anyway the decision has to be ratified by the Agora. What's the advantage of having LOs? Well, the contact to institutions is very important for AEGEE - especially if there is the possibility to ask for grants. So we have our special agents who know everything about the policies and programmes of the organisation and inform the network about possibilities of application for those grants - so the chance for receiving them is higher. Furthermore, they promote and support AEGEE's actions and projects and towards "their" organisation. Of course LOs speak the official language of the institution and live possibly near to the headquarter in order to assure personal contact. ************************************************************************************** -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm ============================================================================= RAINBOW-L is a regional discussion list of AEGEE.
