In search of greater AIM alumni participation


The Alumni Association of the Asian Institute of Management (AAAIM) is intended to address the needs of the school's alumni.  Chairman of the Board Rowena Palmiery - Bayoneta explains, "The AAAIM is there to serve the alumni and in so doing, increase the alumni engagement to AIM."
Bayoneta continues, "The AIM alumni must be relevant to the community." Thus, the alumni board has embarked on providing continuing education talks covering tech and innovation as well as women in leadership topics, on top of the usual golf tournaments and other events.  Alumni are encouraged to stay abreast with these developments.

On another note, some AIM alumni are not aware that the AIM Conference Center Manila (ACCM) offers lodging to visiting alumni at a special room rate. Just present your alumni card and ask for the special rate.  Bayoneta also mentioned that other discounts attached to the alumni card can also be downloaded on the smart phone. The digital version can be used (instead of the card) in finalizing transactions.

The hotel offers basic amenities.  However, the main advantage of staying at ACCM is its close proximity to the Ayala Malls and corporate offices in the vicinity.  A restaurant and coffee shop also operate inside the hotel.
