# LCP Hub The Local Committee President (LCP) is the highest leadership role at the local level in AIESEC. As LCP, you are accountable for your LC's results, its people, its governance, and its relationship with the national Managing Committee (MC) and the Entity Control Board (ECB). This page is your central reference for the LCP role — from mandate to daily practice. {% hint style="info" %} Detailed LCP resources, templates, and term-planning tools are in the shared Google Drive under **`05a — LCP Hub/`**. {% endhint %} ## The LCP Role You wear three hats simultaneously: | Hat | Description | Key Activities | | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Lead** | You set the vision and direction for your LC | Term planning, goal-setting, motivating the EB and members | | **Manage** | You oversee the EB and ensure operational delivery | 1:1s with VPs, MoS tracking, performance conversations | | **Represent** | You are the face of AIESEC locally and nationally | University relations, external partnerships, National Congress, ECB hearings | Each of these hats has its own dedicated page with deeper guidance: * [LCP Lead](/leadership-track/lcp-hub/lcp-lead.md) — Vision, strategy, decision-making * [LCP Manage](/leadership-track/lcp-hub/lcp-manage.md) — EB management, performance tracking, Board of Directors (BoD) * [LCP Represent](/leadership-track/lcp-hub/lcp-represent.md) — External representation, national governance, ECB ## LCP Mandate and Accountability Your mandate comes from two sources: 1. **The LC membership** — You were elected (or selected) to lead the LC for one term. Your EB and members trust you to act in the LC's best interest. 2. **The national governance framework** — As an LC within AIESEC in Denmark, you are accountable to the MC and the ECB for meeting national standards, reporting requirements, and compliance obligations. ### What You Are Accountable For * **LC exchange results** — Delivering on oGX, iCX, and other product targets set in agreement with the MC * **People health** — Retention, member satisfaction (National Member Survey / NMS), and safe space compliance * **Financial health** — Operating within budget, maintaining transparent financial records, paying dues * **Governance compliance** — Following the National Compendium, AEPP, and ECB directives * **Reporting** — Submitting required reports to the MC and ECB on time {% hint style="danger" %} Failure to meet governance and reporting requirements can trigger ECB review processes, which may result in sanctions up to and including LC suspension. Take reporting deadlines seriously. {% endhint %} ## EB Recruitment and Formation One of the most consequential decisions you will make as LCP is selecting your Executive Board. The EB determines your LC's capacity for the entire term. ### EB Recruitment Process 1. **Define the roles.** Based on your LC's size and strategy, decide which VP positions you need. Not every LC needs every function — smaller LCs may combine roles. 2. **Open applications.** Publicise the roles with clear job descriptions, expectations, and timelines. Use the application form template from the MC. 3. **Run interviews.** Structure interviews around competencies, motivation, and alignment with your vision. Include a case study or task. 4. **Select and announce.** Make decisions based on the best fit for each role and the team composition as a whole. Communicate decisions respectfully to all applicants. 5. **Onboard your EB.** Run an EB retreat in the first two weeks. Cover: LC vision, role expectations, MoS, meeting rhythm, communication norms, and team-building. {% hint style="info" %} Involve your outgoing EB in transitions. Each outgoing VP should brief the incoming VP on current status, key contacts, ongoing projects, and lessons learned. {% endhint %} ### EB Composition Considerations * **Diversity of skills and perspectives** — An EB of people who all think the same way will have blind spots * **Commitment level** — Every VP must understand the time commitment. Part-time is fine; uncommitted is not. * **Team chemistry** — Individual talent matters, but the EB must function as a unit ## LC Governance As LCP, you are the primary governance officer for your LC. ### Key Governance Responsibilities * **General Assemblies (GAs):** Organise and chair GAs as required by the National Compendium. GAs are where major LC decisions are made (budget approval, EB election, constitutional amendments). * **Financial oversight:** Ensure the LC operates within its approved budget. Review financial reports monthly with your VP F\&L. * **Compliance:** Ensure your LC meets all national standards, including membership fees, exchange programme policies, and safe space requirements. * **Documentation:** Maintain records of EB decisions, GA minutes, and financial statements. For detailed governance rules, see [National Compendium](/governance/national-compendium.md) and [Entity Control Board](/governance/entity-control-board.md). ## Reporting to MC and ECB ### MC Reporting * **Monthly LC reports:** Submitted to the MC, covering exchange numbers, financial status, people metrics, and key activities. Format provided by MC. * **Term planning:** At the start of your term, submit a term plan and MoS to the MC for alignment. * **Ad hoc requests:** The MC may request specific data or updates. Respond promptly. ### ECB Reporting * **Standing reports:** The ECB may request LC standing assessments, typically quarterly. * **Hearings:** If your LC is under review, you may be called to an ECB hearing. Come prepared with data, context, and a remediation plan. * **Annual audit:** Cooperate with the national audit process. See [External Audit](/governance/external-audit.md). ## Crisis Management Crises can range from a participant emergency abroad to an internal conflict that threatens the LC's stability. As LCP, you are the first responder. ### Crisis Response Framework 1. **Assess the situation.** What happened? Who is affected? Is anyone in immediate danger? 2. **Ensure safety.** If a person's physical or mental safety is at risk, that is the only priority. Contact emergency services if needed. 3. **Communicate.** Inform your EB, your MC counterpart (the MCP or your MCVP), and — if relevant — the ECB. Do not delay communication to "figure things out." 4. **Act.** Take the immediate steps needed to stabilise the situation. 5. **Document.** Record what happened, what decisions were made, and why. This protects you and the LC. 6. **Debrief.** After the crisis is resolved, meet with your EB and MC to review: What went well? What could have been better? What do we change? ### When to Escalate to MC Escalate immediately if the crisis involves: * A participant's safety abroad (medical emergency, legal issue, harassment) * A financial irregularity (suspected fraud, missing funds, unapproved spending) * A safe space violation (harassment, discrimination, abuse) * Legal or regulatory issues (GDPR breach, visa problems, tax complications) * Media attention or reputational risk {% hint style="danger" %} Never try to handle a safety or legal crisis alone. The MC and AIESEC International have protocols and support systems that you need. Escalate early, not late. {% endhint %} ## LCP Term Timeline | Period | Focus | | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Pre-term (Month 0)** | EB recruitment, transition from outgoing LCP, term planning, EB retreat | | **Month 1** | Launch term plan, set MoS, onboard members, run first GA if needed | | **Months 2–3** | Execute strategy, first MoS check, address early issues, first 1:1 round with all VPs | | **Mid-term (Month 4)** | Mid-term review, adjust strategy if needed, run NMS, EB health check | | **Months 5–6** | Push for results, begin transition planning, identify next LCP candidates | | **End-of-term (Month 7+)** | Final results, term report, transition to incoming LCP, celebrate the team | ## Training Materials {% embed url="" %} {% embed url="" %} {% hint style="info" %} 📁 **Full resource folder:** `05a — LCP Hub/` in the shared Google Drive {% endhint %} ## Resources * LCP onboarding pack — `05a — LCP Hub/` * Term planning template — `05a — LCP Hub/` * EB recruitment toolkit — `05a — LCP Hub/` * Crisis management guide — `05a — LCP Hub/` * BoD Mastertool — `05a — LCP Hub/8.
