Chapter Lead
What is a chapter lead?
Chapter leads are active ambassadors of the IBEI alumni in their region. As heads of the chapters, their main aim is to strengthen and maintain the connection between IBEI and its alumni. They are key in building the international presence of the school and establishing long-standing relationships across global geographies.Moreover, they serve as potential touchpoints for future students. They might organise events, activities and count with the support of the institutionally based IBEI alumni programme.
Chapters lead aid alumni who need help adapting to a new environment. Within a chapter, members can share their past experiences assisting alumni to overcome situations they may have already endured. Thus, university chapters become a group with a sense of belonging.
