We cordially invite all US based alumni to join us for the virtual inaugural meeting of the GCSP Alumni Community Hub in the United States.

This alumni hub aims to foster relationships between members by creating a virtual space across the US to network and engage. The virtual approach will bridge the divide between the east and west coasts of the US and will keep alumni involved no matter where they reside in the US.

The hosts for your evening will be:

- H.E. Jacques Pitteloud, Ambassador of Switzerland to the United States of America, ITC alumnus 1990

- Ms Shontaye Abegaz, Executive Director, International Institute for Human Security, GCSP Alumni Community Hub Lead

- Mr Brian von Kraus, CEO, Firewatch Solutions, GCSP Alumni Community Hub Co-Lead (West Coast)

- Ms Annika Hilding Norberg, Head of Peace Operations and Peacebuilding, GCSP

- Ms Isabelle Gillet, Head of Community Engagement, GCSP

Are you based in the region and interested in being part of the hub? Join us online for the special inaugural event. 

• Our hubs add professional value to the GCSP alumni community by uniting the network’s collective intelligence in an informal way.
• Our hubs act as a gateway to our global activities, events, conferences and dialogues organised by the GCSP.
• Our hubs represent a connected network that uncovers new avenues of collaboration in security and foreign affairs and they hold a unique position as dialogue platforms between global locations and Switzerland.
• Our hubs help facilitate the engagement of GCSP alumni in building strength for future cooperation with the GCSP and in enhancing further course participation among GCSP activities.
