In January this year, I received an email from IBF’s CEO to nominate a person whom I felt worthy of being an IBF Fellow. I did some reflection, and nominated a 33-year industrial veteran for IBF’s consideration. One of the main criteria for IBF Fellowship is contribution to the industry. I have come across and known many industrial giants. They all have accumulated great professional achievements, and in the process, also accumulated very good person wealth for themselves. But when it comes to contribution back to the industry and the society, sometimes I find it rare. Therefore, when I come across one, I will intentionally seek him or her out, and provide a platform for effective contributions back to the industry and society. Why is it so important to contribute back to the industry and society? Because what defines a professional is not technical competency, that is a given. What defines a professional is also not about the high income he or she gotten, because with discipline, that is also a given. What defines a professional is that his or her existence has impacted the industry and society in a positive way; and his or her existence has also inspired others wanting to join the profession, not because of the glory or money, but because the profession impact others in a meaningfully positive way. In impacting others, we also impact ourselves, because that gives us the meaning of our existence, professional or otherwise. Allen

Some thoughts that I shared on stage at IPSS 2024 about equity success measurement. Again - a huge thanks to Resource Works Stewart Muir and Margareta Dovgal for hosting our panel on Partnership in Principle & in Practice: Measuring Progress. Check out the clip below!
I was so grateful to be able to assemble and moderate a panel of incredible speakers at IPSS 2024 in Vancouver on June 5, 2024. We discussed how leaders are encouraged to make the equity decision, how communities can drive benefits such as training, education, and development, and how can partnerships measure success. This is a small nugget of the rich information that was shared on stage that day. Thanks to all who attended!

🎓 Transfer Admissions Manager/Senior Counselor @ InGenius Prep | 🌏 Global Educator & CLS Scholar '22 | 🎤 Speaker | 🗣️ Trilingual Mentor @ Oakland Promise (漢語, ESP) | Advocate for Oakland, AI Ethics & Civic Engagement
This is truly heartbreaking news, given that American democracy is in dire need of organizations like the Junior State of America (JSA). JSA not only gave me a transformative sense of purpose and community but also taught me about true statesmanship and the pillars of a healthy democracy— that is, civil and free discourse, civic engagement and representation that is inclusive of all swaths of society, and civic education for future generations of leaders, both in the US and abroad. From attending the 2012 Moctezuma Leadership Summit and the summer programs at Stanford (2011), Princeton (2012), Davis (2012), and Georgetown (2013) to serving as NorCal JSA's Expansion Director and Chapter President of American Indian Public High School's JSA chapter (among other roles), I was heavily involved in JSA. And, naturally, JSA had a significant impact on the trajectory of my own life. It was at a JSA year-round conference that I learned about the existence of my alma mater, Claremont McKenna College, and was encouraged to apply. It was through JSA that I developed my passion for public service and intercultural exchange, leading me to intern for Congresswoman Barbara Lee and become a Top 2 Finalist for Oakland's Public Ethics Commission last December. And, just as important, it was at these countless JSA programs and conferences that I gained cherished memories and forged invaluable friendships (some of whom I still stay in touch with today). It is my hope that the JSA Governors' efforts to reinvent the organization succeed. As the U.S.A. marches forward in the face of polarization, I pray that this vacuum in youth civic education is filled by the leadership and example of those of us who benefitted immensely from programs like JSA. #JSA #bethepeople #statesmenship #democracy #youth #civicengagement #juniorstateofamerica
It is with a heavy heart that the Board of Directors of the Junior State of America (JSA) is announcing the closure and dissolution of the organization effective August 31, 2024. After 90 years of inspiring student engagement in civics and activism, and after long business considerations, we have made this difficult decision to officially close the organization. While this chapter of JSA's history is coming to an end, the impact of our organization will continue to resonate through the hundreds of thousands of lives touched by our programs. Thank you for being a part of the JSA community and for your unwavering commitment to being the people who make a difference. Read the full announcement at https://bit.ly/4ciIIqc.

Unsure if Virtual Classes are right for you? 🤔 CIMA Student, Ronald Chungu faced the same issue. Here's what he has to say about his experience with IBTC. "For me, joining IBTC was the best thing that I have done for my career. I’ve never studied virtually before and I was very sceptical about taking online classes, but I am so glad that I did. I passed each module on the very first try. The lectures are amazing and the guidance on exam expectations and preparation greatly assisted me in achieving success." 🎓 Our Semester 2 CIMA Virtual Classes are starting soon.

My phone blew up today with news of Junior State of America (JSA) winding down after 90 years. For a '90s high school student, JSA was formative (I was a Mayor, a Lt. Governor, and went to Georgetown & Montezuma). What made JSA special? 1️⃣ 👫 💡 Diversity of people & ideas. NJ high school was ... beige, racially and intellectually. At JSA, kids (and their parents) came from all over the place, with ideas which were all over the place. The most diverse environment I experienced until - a decade later - HBS. 2️⃣ 🛩 Travel. 🏛 DC, 🗽 NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco. Without parents, and cell phones! Opened up new worlds for me. 3️⃣ 🗣 Speaking and Conflict. Once upon a time I didn't like public speaking (I know, hard to believe). JSA's approach to debate taught not just public speaking & opposing ideas in public, but also building friendships & leaving public conflict behind when the debate was done. Unique in today's world. 4️⃣ 📜 Paperwork. Hear me out. JSA had a lot of paperwork -- Resolutions. Agendas. Membership rolls, all with minimal computers. Effectively navigating bureaucracy is perhaps the defining skill of adulting. Without even realizing it, I learned to do that in JSA. 5️⃣ 🤗 Friends & 🤝 Leaders. JSA alums of that era became lawyers, business leaders, political leaders, social justice activists, and even rabbis. Several married each other. People like Israel "Izzy" Klein, Cindy Chen, Rachel Derkits-Gelman, and Abby Gordon still influence how I think about friendship, politics, and even parenting today. JSA's moment may have passed. No doubt other groups will fill these roles for the post-COVID high school generation. But it will be missed.

🌟 Thriving in the GSL system! 🚀 Reflecting on our journey since joining the GSL system in November, I couldn't be prouder of the progress my team has made in such a short time. From navigating new territories to achieving impressive results, we've truly come a long way. Securing the third position in our first intake ( Jan intake) was a testament to our dedication and hard work. But we're not stopping there. Our sights are set on clinching the coveted first position, and we're more determined than ever to make it happen. I often remind my team that in our environment, there's no work pressure, only unwavering commitment. It's this dedication that drives us forward, propelling us towards our goals with confidence and resilience. Join us on this exhilarating journey of growth and success. Together, let's continue to push boundaries, exceed expectations, and redefine what's possible in the GSL system. 💼💪 #GSL #TeamSuccess #Commitment #AchievementUnlocked Rahul Das . #studyabroad Global Study Link
