ISBAA Hyderabad Chapter Elections
December 1, 2007
Elections for the positions of President, Treasurer & Secretary of
the Hyderabad Chapter of the ISB Alumni Association will be held on
December 1, 2007 at the ISB.
This will be the first in the series of Chapter elections across the
country. Owing to several issues that cropped up in the web-based
voting system used in the past - mails not reaching, unique voting
link to be used – it was decided to try out in-person voting for the
Hyderabad elections.
Voting in each chapter will only be open to alumni who are
registered in that chapter as on November 15, 2007. All alumni are
requested to update their contact information on the alumni website
(www.isb.edu/alumni),
especially the Current Residential Address (under Contact Details)
which automatically determines chapter affiliation.
For any help with the website, please email
