Friday, 23/02, ING-Awards - Germany won!!
Yesterday (23rd) evening Official Dinner took place. It was our - the extension's - first day at the conference. many people approached us to know more about why, why now, what problems - or challenges :) - may occur, what MENA says to that etc.
Thus for the dinner everybody dressed up formally. And ING led us through a nice evening with a frank speech about our future as "Global Leaders" and four awards for great work.
And a big surprise - at least for the German delegation - happened. The ING award "First Choice for Activating Leadership" was given to Germany!!!
Even Lara, our MCP, was surprised since she didn't know that the MC team had applied for this award. Therefore on stage she was almost crying when she was handed over the award.
The other event that was executed was the announcement of the new AI directors. Tamer who led the MENA GN (=Growth Network) last year only as MENA coordinator was selected as well - good for us I would say. :)
