The 67th CAA General Assembly was kindly hosted by SGH in October, resulting in many new exciting alumni initiatives!
Dear <<First Name>>:
In the first weekend of October representatives of the CEMS Alumni Local Committees and the global CAA Board gathered in Warsaw for the 67th CAA General Assembly! It was an intense two-days of discussions and work groups. The new global CAA Board was presented to the Local Committees, the financial report was approved, an initial CAA strategic, operational and financial plan for 2017-2020 was presented and discussed, in line with the new CEMS Vision.
Top priorities: the build of a new up-to-date CEMS alumni database, a new CEMS jobmarket and online community platform for Alumni, improving CEMS alumni volunteer management, engaging more with our alumni @CEMS Corporate Partners, a new alumni career services and professional events offer, amongst others.
Also, voting for Alumni of the Year Campaign 2017 has started. Vote now for the 2017 candidates who inspire you the most. You can view bios and profiles of the candidates here or vote directly!
Warmest regards. Your CEMS Alumni Association & Board,
