AACSB networking communities facilitate networking and communication among members that share common interests or job responsibilities and include affinity groups, virtual communities, and regional networks.
Participation in networking communities is free and exclusively limited to AACSB member organizations, although a nominal registration fee may be charged to cover meeting expenses on special occasions, such as meals or field trips.
Membership in the community is required to access. Select a group below to view the latest discussions in the AACSB Exchange, a member-only benefit.
These are AACSB-founded groups centered on affinity with professional responsibilities or interests. The groups are led by AACSB volunteers and formally structured with bylaws, a leadership structure, and regular in-person meetings in conjunction with most AACSB conferences.
To join an affinity group, email us here with the groups you wish to join and one of our global team members will notify you once you have access.
