Dear Co-Founders and Members of the International Management Society:
It is an honor to be considered for taking the responsibilities of an International Management Society Officer. I am humbled that some of our fellow members have asked me to take on the role of President of our new association. I view this position as a role of service to our entire society. I understand that there is a lot to be done and this position requires trust and leadership in order to successfully achieve our shared goals.
In order to perform this role effectively, it’s important that you have a good understanding of my background, so you can decide if you would like me to take on this role.
My name is Svetlana Popova and I am from Kazakhstan, one of the former Republics of USSR. Seizing a rear chance to study in the United States as an exchange student, I first came to Texas at the age of sixteen. American International Student Exchange program organized many activities for all exchange students in the East Texas area. I had an opportunity to meet students from Germany, Austria, France, Brazil, Japan, Slovakia, who at the time spoke very little English too, yet we became friends. Culture shock was hard to overcome, but coming from a Russian family of many police and military officers, I was raised in the environment of hard work and discipline. Not knowing the American culture, history, or even English language very well, I had to rely on these qualities a lot to achieve my goal of earning an American High School diploma at seventeen. Upon my return to Kazakhstan, I worked for Passport and Visa Control Department at the Capitol’s Police Headquarters and later at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan, helping foreigners on a daily basis to keep their legal status and do business in Kazakhstan. Also, I had an opportunity to work for an Egyptian Exhibition in Kazakhstan as a translator and learn about Egyptian culture first-hand.
In 2000 I returned to Texas for higher education and attended University of Texas at Tyler, where I was deeply involved with the student community. In 2003, together with my friends from Albania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Morocco, China, Taiwan, and India, we started a first International Club. The club was named International Patriots, after school’s mascot and I accepted a role of Vice President. In 2004-2005 school year I was voted a Team Captain of the Women’s Cross Country Team, Student-Athlete Nominee of the Year, and received a “Team Award” for my organizational and work ethic skills.
A year later, my professional career brought me to Dallas, where I met more interesting people with very diverse International backgrounds. I am fascinated by all different cultures, their differences and similarities, and try to learn as much as possible about each one. Quoting popular Apple TV ad, I must confess that “I have an app for that” the Cultures app on my phone which I used a lot in my preparation for the trip to China and Korea. This trip was a great opportunity to soak up a wealth of knowledge about these cultures and had such an effect on me that I’m currently researching options to work for a Korean company.
The bottom line is: I would greatly appreciate to have a chance of being a representative of our society, be involved in organizing cultural events and creating international opportunities for all our members, and building International Management Society awareness among our fellow students on campus.
Sincerely,
Svetlana
