Its such a loss for the good guys
being in aiesec either adds years to your life, or takes a few away. I'm not sure yet which that is, but if it does infact takes some away, i know the ones you have left would be left better off.
When you want something to work so badly, its really frustrating to see something not succeed. With the talent pool in @US, people who i know have the capacity run a business, start a social moment, or design a new product- why does it seem that we have our feet in cement.
I know we are doing pockets of really great things, awesome, life changing, blowing shit up things...but still, why can't we work as a cohesive unit in the same direction with one vision?
Looking at other successful non profits, what makes aiesec- at least in the us, not able to work with each other properly. Everyone's @ is a little different- and there for our aiesec work across the nation clashes and maybe that why it seems to me we have our feet stuck in cement.

it also seems like people have to choose whether to focus nationally or locally. there seems to be the inability to do a good job in both at the same time. those who are big nationally tend to neglect the local or try and impose things locally that just dont work. its really frustrating.
fyi im local. i like seeing results and national gets too bureaucratic and nit-picky for my taste.
