This
year, the traditional IBA Alumni Islamabad
Chapter Reunion Iftaar cum Dinner was held in
the beautiful lawn of Café 1969 near Lok Virsa

weather could not have been more congenial for
an outdoor gathering with cool breeze and cloudy
weather making the event a memorable one.
Accompanied by their families, Alumni gathered
to reminisce their good times at IBA with their
once classmates. During the first half hour,
Alumni were briefed about the transition of IBA
physical infrastructure as well as revamped
curriculums. After Iftaar, Alumni shared their
stories of old times spent in IBA which was
emotional and memorable for everyone.
Mr. Raza Chinoy, President, Islamabad Alumni
Chapter and Mr. Abdullah Ikram Qazi, Treasurer
Islamabad Alumni Chapter, introduced alumni of
different batches to each other. Mr. Asad Umer,
Member National Assembly and a proud IBA Alumnus
also shared his thoughts about IBA meritocracy
and its legacy. Mr. Umer emphasized on quality
of education saying Pakistan needs institutions
like IBA to prosper.
While the attendees committed to strengthening
the Islamabad chapter by conducting more
reunions and providing opportunities to IBA
students within prestigious organizations,
pledges were signed by Alumni to support IBA
students by providing scholarships. The evening
culminated with a sumptuous dinner accompanied
by a networking session which continued late in
the night.
