This summer, the IDEAS team is hard at work on a variety of different projects. We are making strides on both the Global Summit and better refining our chapter model. The Executive Board is also working on developing a two and five year strategy for the coming years by which we hope to expand IDEAS and keep-up with our growing momentum! Stay tuned for more updates…

Announement: New Co-Executive Directors for 2010-2011

admin — Sat, 15 May 2010 04:52:08 +0000

Congratulations to those of you who have been selected for new leadership positions! We are extremely excited to get to work with our new directors and get old and new members into teams they are interested in.

A number people also applied for the Executive Director positions, and we applaud everyone who took the time to do so. We were very impressed by all the applicants, and were delighted to see so many people within IDEAS step-up to apply–a clear signal that people are committed to the vision of IDEAS and have a desire to take it to the next level.

We have decided to select Adi Singh and Elliot Stoller to be this coming year’s Co-Executive Directors. Given their experience, dedication, and passion for our work, we are excited to see them guide the organization next year.

This is an important transition time and we hope to make this as seamless and effective as possible. The old executive team will continue to remain as involved as we have been to finish the year, and throughout the summer to help guide the transition. We will be meeting on daily basis with the new Executive Directors.

Thank you again for taking the time to apply, and as we turn the page on one part of history, we look forward to what the future has in store!

Best,
Ansaf Kareem and Eugene Nho

Information Session and Applications

admin — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 09:47:10 +0000

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for all those who came out to our information session this past Thursday on Stanford’s campus. We had a great showing with over 30 students in attendance from all disciplines, ages, and countries! You will find a few pictures from the event in an upcoming post, as well as the PowerPoint presentation we showed.

We are officially done taking applications for this recruitment cycle and are proud to announce that we have received more than 50 applications for the various leadership positions as well as general membership applicants. We are looking to begin looking through the applications on this Tuesday (10/13), and you will begin to hear back from us shortly. We are planning to hold interviews for leadership positions on Friday and Saturday (10/15-10/16), and will conclude the weekend with a mandatory orientation session on Sunday (10/18) at 7:00 PM in Old Union. This will consist of a mini-introduction, training, and break-up sessions into separate committees to begin working on the many projects we are planning and are hoping to execute.

For any comments, suggestions, or concerns regarding the recruitment process, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@ripplingideas.org.

For anyone still interested in participating in the organization, please look out for our winter recruitment cycle that will tentatively take place in January.

Thanks again for all those who participated. We are looking forward to hit the ground running with our new recruits and continue to aggressively chase our ambitious agenda!
