PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Four years ago, the Lebanese Collegiate Network was founded by a group of seven very passionate Lebanese students and professionals who believed in a mission, followed their dreams and made LCN a reality. Today, a new team of six members is leading the fifth generation of this great organization while making sure to keep the LCN operation transparent and safeguard its mission in developing members academically and professionally.
In this context, I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate Sevag Sislian, our former President, for the outstanding organization of the 4th annual LCN Convention that took place in Rochester Michigan, as well as all the great work he continues to do to make LCN’s name rise even higher. ‘Sev’ has shown tremendous leadership and great guidance throughout, and it has been my pleasure being on his board.
Through countless hours, and what seemed to be countless meetings this past year, the LCN board grew closer, and I am happy to regard my fellow officers as family. Rami Haddad, former VP of PR, has shown me nothing but support and energy throughout my term. He has flourished the LCN with his talents of writing and getting people to work. Ferdos kassir, former Treasurer, showed us all her dedication all the way from the Caribbean. She proved that distance is not an issue, and wherever she is, she will do her best for LCN! In addition, Lara Saikali, our Secretary for the last couple years was keeping track of the many LCN documents, organized and archived them.
This year’s LCN board radiates with several new faces. In addition to Myrna Ghoaryeb, LCN Vice President of Membership and I on the board, four very dedicated people, have shown immense excitement in being part of this great family. Vicky Haddad, for the Secretary position, Tammy Ayoub, Treasurer, Anita Abdul-Karim, Vice President of Events, and last but not least, Joe Sadek, Vice President of Public Relations. With the help of all these great people, I am very confident it is going to be a great year for LCN! I invite you to learn about the officers and their goals by visiting: http://www.mylcn.org/pdf/Goals_2011-2012.pdf
After joining the LCN, I realized how devoted each person was to his or her work and how this was a priority to make the engine run. I quickly realized that I too needed to demonstration this passion, and be willing to go to great lengths to complete tasks. Being around each board member instills confidence in my abilities, and being around the membership encourages me to work harder. My experience at LCN has taught me so many lessons and values that not only apply to LCN, but to my life as well. I hope that using these tools given to me, I can build another level to the LCN foundation and exceed expectations.
Coming along with this year’s events, LCN has Kicked off the fall season by hosting two professional mixers in two different states: Washington DC and Michigan. Our next upcoming event is going to take place in Los Angeles, California on November 10th, 2011. You can learn more about our events by visiting the LCN website: www.mylcn.org
We believe in the Lebanese Collegiate Network, and I have no doubt, that this year is going an even higher success!
Conceive, follow and love LCN
Sincerely,
Judith Farah
