CONTRIBUTION
Above and beyond being an extremely active and valuable AIESEC member, with countless contributions to his name, Charlie was instrumental in establishing AIESEC Hungary into a proper, separate, legally accepted association. Before him AIESEC Hungary only existed as one subgroup of a larger youth organisation. The fact that this feat was established while socialism was in full swing in Hungary with extreme distrust to both international and youth organisations makes his achievement truly outstanding.

As the alumni coordinator in the AI team 84-85, Gabor persisted in the idea of refounding the alumni association. He took over the alumni operations from the previous AI team and he kept working on the alumni association idea after he left AI in August 1985 and insisted for an independent alumni association until October 1986 when the AAI 1986 Budapest congress was held with Gabor as OCP.
