Several years ago, a group of AIESEC alumni created a scholarship fund in memory of JoAnn Boland who served at AIESEC United States as Vice President of Human Resources in 1992 –1993 and Local Committee President of AIESEC Miami Ohio in 1991-92. Throughout her career in AIESEC, JoAnn focused on the development of AIESEC’s international leaders. She was an international leader herself and inspired others to follow in her footsteps as she fostered the development of over 70 local committees during her tenure at AIESEC US. Tragically, shortly before she was due to depart on her own international traineeship in Finland, JoAnn died in a car accident on February 22, 1994. After her death, several AIESEC friends asked about creating a scholarship fund in her memory. The JoAnn Boland International Scholarship Fund was launched in 2000 with contributions dedicated to sponsoring AIESEC US local committee members’ attendance at international conferences. Since then 18 awards have been given. This year marks the 15th anniversary of JoAnn’s death and never has there been a better time when local committee development is more needed in AIESEC US.
