Global AIESEC Awards Partners



   


The Global AIESEC Awards were launched in 2000 at the AIESEC International Congress in Edinburgh, Scotland. From having only the category of "Global Alumni Hall of Fame", the Global AIESEC Awards now also include the AIESEC Entrepreneurship and Leadership as well as the AIESEC Contribution Award. Winners of the two latter awards are eligible for another nomination for the Global Alumni Hall of Fame Award in later years if their profiles continue to grow.

This re-structuring was done in order to ensure a proper representation and selection of awardees in every category. Practice of recent years showed different people should be nominated for each of the awards, and evaluation criteria differ. This does not affect any award winners retrospectively.

Alumni can be nominated by AIESEC countries, individual alumni, Alumni groups/associations, and AIESEC International once a year during a the nomination period in the spring of each year. The selection for the awards is done by a committee consisting of an alumnus of AIESEC International, an external representative from an AIESEC partnering organization, a member of an AI Supervisory Group, President of AIESEC International and the Global Alumni Relations Manager.

  • Through the Global AIESEC Awards we aim to:
  • Reinforce the leadership characteristics and attitudes desired in AIESEC by highlighting role-modeling alumni who exemplify our values and who had an outstanding contribution in AIESEC and within their community.
  • Profile and showcase alumni to the world, and acknowledge their contribution globally.
  • Motivate alumni to become re-involved with AIESEC.
  • Position AIESEC alumni internally to allow the active membership to connect with AIESEC history and learn from past experiences.
If you have any questions with regards to the Global AIESEC Awards, please write to Sabine Ziem, Global Alumni Relations Manager on sabinez@ai.aiesec.org
