Leadership Meeting and WUSC.ca request

WUSC in Ottawa would like to remind us of the following:

Every year, WUSC invites one representative from each Local Committee to attend the Uniterra Leadership Meeting. This “Launch of the Year” event will introduce new Uniterra activities, offer updates on the Student Refugee Program, enable LC members from across Canada to get to know each other, and begin the 2008-09 academic year with a splash!

This year, the Leadership Meeting will take place from August 15-18 and will be held in QUEBEC CITY! The meeting will be especially exciting because it will be offered in collaboration with the World Youth Congress (www.wyc2008.qc.ca), so representatives will get a chance to meet hundreds of youth activists from around the world. Furthermore, it will be held during Québec City’s 400th anniversary, so representatives will be able to partake in amazing festivities related to this celebration!

Each LC is invited to send ONE person to this important meeting. This representative must be:

• A returning student;
• An active LC member who will play a leadership role in 2008-09;
• Available to attend the entire meeting.

NB: Bilingualism is an asset, but not mandatory. Uniterra will cover transportation, accommodation and meal expenses related to this meeting.

To register your representative for the Leadership Meeting, log into your My Committee account, select the individual from your member’s list, and specify Leadership Meeting Representative as one of their roles. If you have questions, contact Marianne Gwod (mgwod@wusc.ca).

Additionally, WUSC in Ottawa would like to get the latest contact information for the 2008-09 Local Committee chair, co-chair, secretary, etc.
