As your INSEAD Alumni Association of Australia and New Zealand (“IAA AUS-NZ”) embarks upon the refresh of its strategic plan to further enhance engagement of our alumni community across Australia and New Zealand, there is an exciting opportunity to join the Board of Directors to apply your passion and energy and work with a diverse and like-minded team to help drive the IAA AUS-NZ towards achieving even bigger ambitions and lasting impact!
Our mission
Our mission is to provide value to our Alumni members and the wider community by:
- raising the profile of INSEAD’s status and prestige in Australia and New Zealand;
- engaging and supporting our Alumni through a strong and energised community, and through opportunities to build connections and develop knowledge; and
- representing Business as a Force for Good, leading the charge on Thought Leadership topics at the national and global level, and reinforcing INSEAD kinship, forged by Alumni helping Alumni.
