The Alumni Association of Caucasus School of Business was established on 2nd February 2002 by the initiative of Caucasus School of Business (CSB) graduates and CSB administration.

The main purpose of the Caucasus School of Business Alumni Association (CSBAA) is to keep CSB alumni connected and help the school itself in its future endeavors. The main objectives of the alumni association are the following:

• Provide CSB students and graduates with various programs and services (Programs of Hiking, Skiing and Football Championships, New Years Parties, Conferences, Workshops, Discounts in different organizations, etc)
• Support alumni and current students in their professional development
• Strengthen contacts between the school and the alumni
• Support CSB in its future development

Anyone who graduated BBA or MBA programs at CSB can become a member of Caucasus School of Business Alumni Association. However any current BBA or MBA student can participate in the programs and projects that will be conducted by this “association”.

It is especially valuable for the School to become successful during the difficult times in the economy and politics in Georgia. Those times ruined almost every sector of economy in Georgia. Of course, it was hard for the School’s students to plan for promotion and success in the difficult business environment as well. This is why the Alumni Association is established to overcome the above-mentioned problems for the Students and Graduates.

The managing body of the Alumni Association is the Board of Directors elected by the Council [Gamgeoba]. The council itself represents the supreme body of the Association and it consist of all the graduates.
