Global Issues Service Summit 2013

This news has been confirmed for a while now: in February 2013, ISK will be hosting the prestigious Global Issues Service Summit, which is abbreviated to GISS.As I am now co-leader of GIN, I am also co-leader of GISS. I understand that this is a great responsibility, and that I will have a lot more work and stress going on due to this event, but the annual GISS conference is a conference that I have been going to for the past few years, and once this one comes around, I will have attended 3 of the 5 African GISS conferences.I am therefore accustomed to the constant (and elevated) demand that this event will require from me. 
Even though I have never been truly in a position of power or leadership as great as the one that I have now, I am hopeful that I will be able to deal and efficiently manage the stress and my time. 

The committee that I am student leader of, the Human Resources committee, deals with the ‘people’ aspect of the conference. Along with Mrs. Zents, who is the teacher leader of HR, we will be carefully selecting keynote speakers, expert panelists, Golden Hearts Scholars and sustainability teams. 

Not only will this organization help me in the case of future large-scale events such as this one in my time-management and organization, but it will also improve my communicating skills, whether it be on the phone, with a video conference or face to face.
