Volunteer Handbook Your guide to volunteering with IE

G LO B A L A LU M N I R E L AT I O N S

Welcome!

Dear Alumni, We feel tremendously proud of the values that make our IE community a unique one: Diversity, Entrepreneurship, Humanities, Technology and Innovation. We know that each of you, in your own ways, contribute to these community values as professionals and brand ambassadors around the world. To further encourage your pro-active involvement as students and alumni, we wanted to go further in providing you with specific leadership roles that you take on as volunteers.

In this Volunteer Handbook , we have created a practical guide on a wide variety of ways that you can volunteer and make a difference in our community. Every hour of your time that you willingly choose to invest in supporting the various activities that we lead together with our colleagues, will not only enhance IE´s reputation and international presence, but also your own personal brand.

Your important role as a volunteer will make a direct impact on recruiting the best talent to IE, increasing our outreach to companies worldwide, building and growing IE communities through clubs, and sharing stories that make us proud to belong to the IE network. These provide just a few examples of how you can connect your interests with strategic areas at IE that welcome your support and enthusiasm as students and alumni!

We look forward to counting on your participation and thank you for demonstrating true school spirit and leadership in your roles as IE volunteers!

Warmest Regards, Julia Sanchez, Head of Global Alumni Relations

WHY YOU ARE IMPORTANT

WHY YOU ARE IMPORTANT Volunteers are the heartbeat of Global Alumni Relations. You have an amazing opportunity to give back to the school, current students, and your fellow IE alumni in whatever way you can. As thought, and world leaders, IE alumni are in an ideal position to offer advice, insights and resources.

What is important is not the magnitude of your contribution, but the choice to contribute at all. The smallest gesture can go a long way in providing for those students that would like to follow your example.

We thank you for your efforts and urge you to do what you can to give back. We are excited for what our future as a university holds and cannot wait to see the efforts that you take to help make that happen.
