Alumni Networking Luncheon

Continuing in our efforts to reconnect with our alumni, the business school has held several Alumni Networking Luncheons which commenced in September 2009 and will continue until April 2010. The luncheons are being hosted with the intention of:

· Introducing our newly appointed Executive Director – Professor Miguel Carrillo
· Promoting networking among our alumni across various cohorts
· Assisting the school in ascertaining the pulse of businesses across various industries and
· Providing a forum for the provision of insights into business needs, and suggestions of the best ways in which those needs may be met.

Specifically designed to target smaller groups (20 -25 persons), invitations to attend are extended to randomly selected alums based on geographic location and programme/cohort.

Eight luncheons have been held thus far at various locations – Jaffa’s Restaurant (P.O.S.), 3’s Winehouse (South) and the Lok Jack GSB boardroom (Mt. Hope) and over 90 graduates from various programmes and cohorts, have participated in the event.

Mentorship Programme

It offers significant potential to enrich the student’s learning experience whilst engaging alumni”

The programme has been specifically designed to:

 “Provide an avenue to meet and interact, exchange ideas, develop friendships and promote networking among alumni (mentors) and students (mentees) of the business school.”

Interim Alumni Board Lunch

Calling for nominations for the establishment of an Interim Alumni Board.

The purpose of the GSB Interim Alumni Board is to build and maintain a relationship with the alums of the GSB in a manner that is mutually beneficial to both parties.  

The general activities of the Alumni Fraternity will be carried out by the standing committee of the Interim Alumni Board. They will aid in the guidance of strategic ventures that shall help develop and grow the objectives of the committee. The Board will comprise of at least one (1) individual from each programme offered by the Lok Jack GSB and the Alumni liaison person along with one (1) other member from the Lok Jack GSB staff.

The Board shall hold quarterly meetings at a venue and time convenient to all members. These meetings shall not be limited to only the discussion of the transactions of the business of the Fraternity, but will serve as a forum where the present graduating class may be invited to attend and address his/her concerns and ideas of the Association; Lecturers and Consultants may also use these meetings to address any issues that they may wish to raise. These invitations may be pro-active on the part of the Association whereby we extend the invitation, or it can be requested by the concerned persons. Acceptance of a request for attended to the meetings shall be determined by the Board.

Sub-committees shall be developed to micro-manage specific activities such as communications/public relations, events, mentorship programme, reunions etc. At least one board member will be required to sit in any sub-committee that is established. This will help serve as a bridge between committees and ensure that each faction is operating in synergy and cohesion towards not only achieving the Fraternity’s objectives, but also to maximize the returns to both the Business School and the Alumni.

 Interested alumni are asked to submit the information at s.gajadhar@gsb.tt.
