There is so much to share after any AIESEC International Congress, if you consider that IPM is where the new AI team is elected/selected, the Global Focus Areas are defined, international legislation is carried about and many other major global decisions are taken, there are to many things to share to be able to get them all into a blog post! But I will summarize and illustrate... 
The highlights of the SSGN Premeeting in Cairo were: defining the 07-08 GN board structure, work groups around the budget, and the Ser Más Initiatives. And obviously reigniting that SSGN spirit with old and new friends!!
GLOBAL VILLAGE!!
The Guatemalan stand at Global Village was a one woman show this year!! Gave away bracelets, brochures, tiny dolls, Tortix (lemon-flavored corn chips) and Chiky's (chocolate covered cookies). Hope more Egyptians know that Guatemala exists and can hopefully find it on a map as a result!
Election and selection results...
Gabitza - PAI 07-08 !!!!
Juan - SSGN Director 07-08!!
All the Directors and VPs were selected for the AI 07-08 term, except for the VP X!! So this position was reopened. Extremely exciting to be in a room filled with MCPs all waiting for the final announcements and the ritual of drenching the chosen candidate!!
Other important decisions:
- Two new member countries: Tanzania and Pakistan!!
- 6 new official extensions: Gabon, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Rwanda, Uzbekistan and Vietnam
- countries where expansions were allowed to begin: Iran, Israel, Palestine, Oman and Algeria
- Italy will host IPM 2009
- Spain will host AXLDS 2008
There were many other decisions taken, and many, many more sessions, but these are a sample of the major changes that took place!!
AIESEC Egypt did an amazing job hosting the event, the BEST FOOD anyone had ever eaten at any international congress!!
