MC/LC Structure for Alumni Responsible
Global Alumni Management Team1st Webinar
06th February 2012
Alumni Management Structure• The structure of Alumni Management in
every entity is the key for its functioning in that entity.
• A proper structure helps to define the responsible team and point-of-contact in interaction with Alumni, to increase efficiency and maintain good relationship with Alumni
Current Challenges • Different structures across AIESEC entities and internally• No guidance from one standardized body regarding
structures to be followed• Entities not realize the value of Alumni Relations and its
benefits• No defined and clear ways of communication among
responsible individuals• No efficient and frequent exchange of information and
opportunities related to Alumni
Proposal 1
MC VP AR
Team Leader(LC ‘A’)
Member Member Member
Team Leader(LC ‘B’)
Proposal 1• One MCVP Alumni Relations (full time or part time)• One National Alumni Association for an increase in the
outreach to alumni in a structured manner• For LCs, one person (a Team Leader) with his/her team
should be responsible for Alumni Management for the LC. This person can be directly working under the MC VP AR for better coordinated efforts.
Proposal 2
MC VP AR
NST Team Leader
NST Member NST Member NST Member
LCVP AR (LC “A”)
LCVP AR (LC “B”)
Proposal 2• One MCVP AR• Along with MCVP AR, a NST Alumni
Relations team is needed to support in terms of organizing national events and coordinate with LCs
• Each LC: one LCVP AR reports to MCVP AR.
Principles• Define clear and concise the JD of each
level• Define the ownership of Alumni Contact• Effort in coordination and clear
communication between MC and LC• Avoid confusion and conflict• Be PROFESSIONAL!

AI – 1 united database combined by GNs’ responsible (GN responsible gathers Alumni db from each MC in given GN)
MC – 1 united database combined from entire entity (MC responsible gathers together one Alumni db from LCs and from MC level)
LC – 1 united database from given LC (LC responsible gathers together one Alumni db from given LC)

management tracking (see second next page)
MC – select ARM person responsible and update the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/a/aiesec.net/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnkQc-FkQEPLdHFCRmhpeVJ3WjRDcHlQbDhtLW9GWHc&authkey=CKbKj-MN&hl=en_US#gid=2
[DDL: 14.02.2012.] MC – creates similar spreadsheet for LCs

touch, engage Alumni in related activities• Help growth the network: sharing the links, promotion within entity• Create your own national profile and group (if not yet)• Join the regional group (or create one and collaborate with other entities
within the region if there isn’t)
Alumni Database Management tool #2: LinkedIn
• Potential challenges:– Not all Alumni have LinkedIn account– Require training for LinkedIn Alumni
coordinator to use the tools and maintain updated contents

What if not enough capacity?
• No MCVP AM or half-position (MCVP ER+AM)?NST may be the best solutionOne additional coordinator with National Alumni
Association• Engage other MCVP (IM, Comm) to help with the
database management, marketing, communication strategy.
