The first hub event for the new AIESEC Life DC Hub was a huge success!  More than 80 alumni spanning 3 decades came together in late January to connect with friends old and new as well as  members from the local committee.   Frank Foti, former President of AIESEC US (’80-81) and current CEO of Vigor Industrial attended as a guest of honor.  Frank, who is a member of the Board of Directors for both AIESEC Life and AIESEC US flew in to join the event and spoke about what is means to be “living the AIESEC life” post-college and sparked an engaging discussion about global competitiveness, traineeships, and how alumni can help the local committees nationwide. 

Thanks to this event, the DC hub has now increased in size and is looking forward to putting on more events to connect and empower the alumni community!
