Who would have thought that back in 2011 when I was approached by Mr. Lynn Wells to start forming an Alumni Association, four years later we would have a growing organization; one run by young and enthusiastic members, and one that actually makes a di erence in
our community? Now, at the end of the 2014- 2015 school year, on behalf of the AA Executive Team, I can proudly say that our vision and plans for our association are becoming a reality. 

Who are those young and enthusiastic members? We are a team of four alumni who care about AISB and the society in which we live, who volunteer our time and energy to a greater cause in order to create a strong network of professionals and businesspeople who can interact and work together globally.

Our small but determined team is formed by:

• Ioana Balu – Public Relations and Marketing Manager

  at Flavours Food Design, and Treasurer-Secretary
  of the Alumni Association. Ioana is energetic and hands-on; she is the brick of our team who brings in valuable ideas and ways to apply our vision;

• Alex Cristescu – Lawyer and Manager of Sanctuaro, his family’s real estate business, and Legal Advisor of the Alumni Association. Alex is hard working, positive, and temperate, organizing our structure, the way we work, and all the legal aspects of the AA in order for the Association to be effective;

• Patricia Khalil – Development and Communications Assistant at AISB, and Alumni Coordinator for the Alumni Association. Patty is dynamic and eager
  to see the relationship between the AA and AISB blossom, working to ensure our communication with the school is productive and our plans implemented; and

• Maria Tudor – Managing Partner of Ensola LED Lighting Systems, and President of the Alumni Association, who, together with a group of dedicated and passionate alumni, set the foundations of the AA and fueled its growth. I am highly enthusiastic about, and a strong supporter of, the potential of our work. 

Why do we do what we do for the Alumni Association? Because we want to give back to the school that made us who we are today: global citizens in a global world.
I do hope that following the Alumni Association’s new developments, our team will grow and we will attract more active members to devote their time, energy, and knowledge to the AA, in order for us to accomplish greater projects.

To those of you who will become involved with the Alumni Association moving forward, I can sincerely say that I am positive that the outcomes of our existing accomplishments will encourage you, AISB Alumni, to join forces in our endeavor to successfully bring together a network of highly capable world citizens.

As you will see in this WORLD Magazine issue, our community is formed of smart, in uential, and hard working people at the top of the academic sphere. Together, we can create lasting and meaningful work, giving back not only to the school that educated us, AISB, but also to the communities that we are each part of in our own corners of the world.

Maria Tudor
President
