The AISB Alumni Association is actively involved in the effort of our community of global citizens to provide value that is sustainably created. I have been running our Association for over a year now and during this time we have de ned our goal and strategy with the aim to better our community by satisfying the needs of our interest holders:
 

1. ALUMNI need to reconnect, be involved in their community and nd new opportunities.
    

2. CURRENT STUDENTS & PARENTS want to nd guidance, inspiration and assurance for their future actions.
    

3. AISB needs to improve the community and become a leader in education.
    

4. THE ALUMNI TEAM volunteer their time to grow as individuals and become respected members of our community.
   
    

We have aligned these interests and transformed the AISB Alumni Association into an educational partner that works side by side with our community. Currently there are four main branches to our activities:
 

1. EVENTS carried out by alumni which are hosted at AISB for 10th, 11th, and 12th Graders as well as the parents of Grade 12 students. These are designed to o er a more complete image of life after graduation while supporting students with course selection, university search and application, and the practicalities of university life.
    

2. REUNIONS hosted abroad and in Romania, their purpose being for us to reunite under a social setting whilst facilitating networking amongst alumni. 

3. WORLD ALUMNI MAGAZINE is a bi-annual publication, which since October 2016 has been issued ISSN codes and is catalogued by the Romanian National Library. The content promotes our community and at the same time is a potential source for education.
    

4. AISBCONNECT.COM & SOCIAL MEDIA AISBconnect.com is our own exclusive network where only AISB alumni may sign up and interact, while our social media e orts present our community to an audience which has grown in the past year by more than 300%.
    

We focus on what we do best in order to satisfy the interests of all our parties while not overburdening our volunteers. Our team consists of over 40 people including Executives, Delegates who are spread on all the continents of the world, and School Liaisons. It is unique to have this type of global spread and reach. We will continue to grow and improve as long as all the individuals and organizations of our community are active partners of AISB.
 

This fall we will celebrate the 5-year anniversary of our Alumni Association. I look forward to seeing many of you at our anniversary event to celebrate our success. Stay connected on AISBconnect.com to be the rst to hear about the details of the event.
