Alumni Associations
Alumni Principles
These simple principles lay out the way in which AIESEC would like to
cooperate with AIESEC alumni associations all over the world to
generate benefits for both AIESEC members and AIESEC alumni.
1) Strengthening the AIESEC way
AIESEC alumni associations recognize and engage in activities that align with the AIESEC Way.
2) Strengthening AIESEC’s brand
AIESEC alumni associations actively support the AIESEC brand by following the legal obligations with regards to the use of the AIESEC trademark.
As per section 5.10 of the International Compendium, Member Committees are responsible for the appropriate use of the trademark in their country/territory. Specifically paragraph 5.10.8: "All AIESEC entities that have a license permission to use the AIESEC trademark have the right to give usage permission of such to external entities within their geographical area of responsibility. By giving this permission, they also have the responsibility to ensure that it is used in the proper way."
AIESEC alumni associations thus have to seek permission from the Member Committee of a given country/territory to set up and register the association. If an AIESEC alumni association decides to organize publicly announced events in a country/territory other than the one it is registered in, it will equally have to inform the Member Committee of said activities.
Benefits from and objectives of this approach are the strengthening of the AIESEC brand for the mutual benefit of AIESEC and AIESEC alumni.
3) Recognition and implemention of AIESEC’s Code of Ethics
AIESEC alumni associations actively work with the code of ethics implemented by AIESEC (viewing the code of ethics requires MyAIESEC.net login)
4) Mutual representation in boards
In order to foster deep cooperation and collaboration between AIESEC and alumnin associations, Member Committees should have representation in the steering and decision making body of the alumni association, while alumni associations should have their own representative in the advisory/supervisory board of the given AIESEC Member Committee.
AIESEC recognizes the immense
potential of a strong global network of alumni, which reinforces
AIESEC’s global brand , provides diverse
services to alumni , and keeps
close links of cooperation – if
non-interference – with AIESEC.
It is AIESEC’s desire and firm commitment to foster mutual cooperation to the best of our
ability to
provide a truly global platform for life of anyone who
has been a member of AIESEC.
