ESSAY. Explain in 100 words or less why you want to run for the position and the key points of your platform.

I am running for the position of Business Cluster Head because I want to be able to serve. Because
when I serve, I am happy. I’ve witnessed the growth of the Business Cluster from a member, to being
part of a Central Board.

And I wish to be part of that growth, of this legacy.

I am running because I acknowledge that there is a need to continue the good practices and the great
visions of the outgoing BC, from Presidents down to the Executive boards.

And there also is a need to grow as organizations through: consultation, exploration, externalization.
