The relationship works as follows: | MC Role | LC Counterpart | Interaction | | --------- | ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | MCP | LCPs | Regular 1:1s, LCP summits, governance oversight | | MCVP oGX | VP oGX / LCVP oGX | Functional coaching, target alignment, pipeline reviews | | MCVP iCX | VP iCX / LCVP iCX | Functional coaching, project quality reviews | | MCVP TM | VP TM | NEC delivery support, NMS coordination, TL development | | MCVP MKT | VP MKT / MKT Lead | Campaign coordination, brand compliance, content support | | MCVP BD | VP BD | Partnership strategy, sales support, revenue tracking | | MCVP F\&L | VP F\&L / Treasurer | Financial reporting, audit preparation, legal compliance | ### How to Get the Most From Your MCVP If you are a VP at the LC level: 1. **Be proactive.** Your MCVP wants to help, but they support multiple LCs. Reach out with specific questions. 2. **Come prepared.** When you have a coaching call, bring your data and your challenges — not just "things are fine." 3. **Use the resources they provide.** NEC materials, templates, and toolkits exist for a reason. Do not reinvent the wheel. 4. **Share what works.** If you discover something effective, tell your MCVP. They can spread it to other LCs. ## National Meetings The MC facilitates several regular national touchpoints: | Meeting | Frequency | Participants | Purpose | | ----------------------- | -------------------- | ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | **LCP Summit** | Quarterly (approx.) | All LCPs + MCP | Strategic alignment, best practices, collective problem-solving | | **Functional Calls** | Monthly or bi-weekly | MCVP + all LC VPs in that function | Functional coaching, NEC delivery, pipeline reviews | | **National Congress** | 1–2 per year | All LCs, MC, ECB | Governance decisions, MC election, strategy ratification | | **National Conference** | 1–2 per year | All members | Education, motivation, team building, network expansion | | **MC–ECB Meetings** | As needed | MC + ECB | Governance oversight, standing reviews, policy discussions | ## Applying to the MC Serving on the MC is one of the most intensive and rewarding leadership experiences in AIESEC.
