The Columbia Alumni Association of Chile (CAA Chile) has recently elected its second board of directors to serve from June 2024 to June 2027. Officially established as a legal entity in late 2021, CAA Chile works to foster growth and engagement among Columbia alumni in the country.
The newly appointed board includes President Juan Somavía (SIPA’98), Vice President Naisa Gormaz (TC’14), Secretary Manuel Blanco (LAW’96), Treasurer Alexander Hazbún (SIPA’14), and members Eliana Chamizo (SIPA’02), Pablo Gazzolo (SIPA’05), Valentina Lagos (SIPA’15), and Dan Poniachik (SIPA’20).
Outgoing board members Graciela Ibáñez (JRN’08), the first president of CAA Chile, along with Tomás Dinges (JRN’08) and Pablo Cassorla (SEAS’16), have greatly contributed to laying the foundation of the association.
The Columbia Alumni Association aims to strengthen the bonds of fellowship among the Columbia’s global alumni community, maintain their connection with the University, provide a platform for sharing collective knowledge and perspectives, and cultivate effective leadership. In Chile, the association is a key partner of the Santiago Center, regularly collaborating to organize joint activities.
