The EIT Digital Alumni network is built on you, members of this association. My vision for EIT Digital Alumni in the upcoming years (and beyond!) is to cultivate a truly professional and inclusive organisation where each and every member, regardless of their geographical location, feels a strong sense of community and has their voice heard. Whether that's by connecting on a professional level, or to simply have a new familiar face in town. To achieve this, my plans include:

• Elevating global engagement through local events. Leverage and expand the local rep network to more locations. Empowering our network by expanding succesful models like the Data & Pizza series in Amsterdam and Paris with interesting speakers and an informal feel. Connect local reps in different locations to learn from each other.
• Actively soliciting your input. The EIT Digital Alumni community is built for its members by its members. I know we're all innovators at heart, so got an idea for a new event, or perhaps an interesting speaker? Let's work together to bring this to live!
• Allow members to get involved via committees and working groups. Want to get more involved in the community? Committees and working groups can serve as an accessible way to take on a formal role within the association, network, and gain exposure and experience.
• Exploring synergies within the broader EIT Ecosystems. Let's use what we got! I believe the EIT Digital Alumni association can benefit tremendously from collaborating with other EIT Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) to access new resources and create more diverse opportunities for our members.
