Dear AISB Alumni and Friends,

Welcome to the WORLD magazine. On behalf of everyone at AISB, thank you for your unwavering support. It is your energy and willingness to share your experiences that motivates our entire learning community.

The AISB Alumni Association is in the second year of operation under the able direction of Maria Tudor - President, Cristina Gingirov - Vice President, Ioana Balu - Secretary & Treasurer and their appointed PR & Marketing Representative - Ruxandra Micsunescu and Legal Representative - Alex Cristescu.

They are further supported by 13 members-at-large. They have met and formulated plans to help our fledgling organization grow and prosper. We are truly proud of the contributions of the association. Their accomplishments have been in several areas: the Alumni have helped to sponsor school events, participated as a group in sport competitions with AISB students, assisted with establishing a network with our new graduates, and assisted with the PTO’s Auction Gala. Of special note is the continued involvement in the greater Bucharest community, helping to provide funding for a child in need through their rst fundraising event: HOPE – A future for Sebi.

As we go forward, I hope you’ll consider how AISB can contribute to your own success. Many of you volunteer and serve others in your personal and professional lives. Now we’d like you to share how AISB can be of service to you.

An excellent way to start is by completing your online pro le in the new alumni portal that will be available in the New Year. Consider this your gateway to a professional network of fellow graduates who can serve as collaborators, mentors, clients, and even potential employers and employees.

You are most welcome to attend the “PTO Annual Auction Gala – MONTE CARLO NIGHT” which is held on April 5th at the Radisson Blu Hotel. It is an enjoyable evening and we welcome our special guest on stage, Petru Calinescu, a class of 2005 alumnus. Furthermore, if you are so inclined, there is an “Inspiration Fund” which is dedicated to new programs for students at AISB. We encourage you to support the next generations of AISB students. You can nd more information about these two items on the school’s website.

As we celebrate this second anniversary issue of our magazine, I look forward to meeting more of you, learning about your latest achievements, and promoting them within these pages. And remember, whenever you need to advance your career and promote your passions, we hope you’ll turn to AISB rst.

Warmest regards,

David Ottaviano, Ed.D. Director
