INTRODUCTION TO ALUMNI CHAPTERS AND NETWORKS
The Alumni department is in the process of facilitating
and encouraging establishment of Alumni Chapters at
locations where IBA alumni population is sufficiently
dense. The chapters would be led by office bearers under
the guidance of a board of senior and experienced
professionals who would be patrons for the chapters.
Mission
“The alumni chapters shall assist our alumni to advance
IBA’s mission in the pursuit of excellence in academics
as well as in its resources”
What our Chapters do?
The Alumni Chapters organize social, academic and
professional networking events in their local areas
which will ensure graduates stay connected with the IBA
and with each other
The chapters will act as ambassadors for IBA throughout
the world and help in recruiting talented
Students/Faculty from their respective countries
Alumni Chapters will not just act as a platform for
sharing professional and personal experiences but they
will also help alumni to search for jobs and find
resources tailored to their needs and interests
The IBA Career Development Centre (CDC) will work
closely with Alumni Chapters seeking assistance in
internship/job opportunities or advices in the chapters
region for current/graduating students and also
advertise to the chapter’s members
National/International job opportunities.
Alumni Chapters in different region will be able to
assist Alumni travelling to that region for business/
leisure. They will also assist the new comers to the
region in relocation and settlement process.
How will the Alumni Chapters be created?
Chapters will be made up of a committee of volunteers.
These committees will typically have a President, Vice-
President, Secretary and Treasurer. Click here to view
the Duties and Responsibilities of Alumni Chapters’
Executive Committee members.
Modes of chapter formation
The office bearers would be elected at the launch of the
chapter from within the volunteers who have agreed to
volunteer by votes of the alumni attending the meeting.
Their term of service would be one year, after which the
office-bearers would be re-elected through a similar
process.
Alternatively Alumni can form an Executive Committee
with consensus of all Alumni actively involved in the
Chapter Formation
IBA support to the Executive Committee members
The office bearers would have their official
“iba.edu.pk” IBA email addresses with their names and
designations in the chapter. They would also be provided
their official IBA visiting cards as Chapter leads.
