Launch of Official AIS Alumni Association |
|
|
We are very excited to announce for the first time in AIS history, the launch of an official AIS Alumni Association through the Development Office. The Development Office is organizing the first annual Alumni Cup, a volleyball competition involving teams of alumni, current students and faculty members. It will be held at the school on Friday 18 December 2009. The volleyball competition will be followed by a BBQ reception to formally launch the AIS Alumni Association. Right now we have enough alumni players to put together at least one alumni team to complete with the current faculty and students. We are expecting an exciting competition, with the winning team being presented with the cup.The Development Office is also delighted to announce that an alumni Homecoming Week has been confirmed for December 2010, which will include a formal banquet taking place on either 21 or 23 December. This prestigious event will bring together our current faculty and alumni to celebrate our AIS 25th Silver Jubilee Anniversary. There is already a growing sense of excitement and anticipation of enthusiasm amongst many of our talented alumni volunteers. With the support of the Development Officer these alumni volunteers are getting ready to establish a number of committees that will take responsibility for the many different roles associated with a major celebration like this.Over the few weeks since the new AIS website is launched, the Development Office has been actively seeking out AIS and California International School (CIS) alumni, researching our school’s twenty three years’ database and reaching out various formal and informal networks built up a solid base of more than 400 former students who have indicated directly to her that they are keen to reconnect with the school and support our efforts in establishing a formal alumni community. Voluntary Alumni Class Agents have been appointed and work is already underway towards expanding our networks. The progress we have made in such a short time is really quite staggering.Our new school website for the first time offers its alumni their own private portal. This will give them access to the alumni database and to learn about upcoming alumni reunion events. As parents and teachers of the AIS community, you are strongly encouraged to help us to keep in touch with old and new alumni by referring them to this alumni sign-up link. Through our alumni portal, our alumni can search for other alum by graduating class dating back to 1988, discover their own graduating photos and find out the latest news from their alumni peers.We trust you will share in our excitement as we begin to build our alumni networks and bring you up to date with all that is happening at AIS today. |
