CEMS Alumni Board Elections /Join CEMS Alumni Association – Apply by August 10, 2025/

Dear CEMS VSE alumni,

After two years, it is time for a leadership transition within the CEMS Alumni Association. Since August 2023, the following alumni have generously served in these roles:

• President: Jakub Valníček

• Vice President: Elena Lifanteva

• Treasurer: Andrii Ponomarenko

• Event Manager: Julie Janáková

We sincerely thank Jakub, Elena, Andrii, and Julie for their commitment, energy, and for fostering connections across the Czech CEMS alumni network!

Interested in joining the new leadership team?

We are now looking for candidates to take over the above roles. Ideally, a presidential candidate will form a new team (at least President, Vice President, and Treasurer). Once we receive at least one presidential nomination, official elections will take place:

• If there is 1 candidate, they must collect at least 10 email votes from alumni.

• If there are multiple candidates, the one with the most votes wins.

Want to apply or nominate someone?

If you’re a CEMS graduate and interested in applying or would like to nominate someone else — please get in touch with Šárka Otčenášková (sarka.otcenaskova@vse.cz) by August 10, 2025.
The goal of the CEMS Alumni Association is not to organize as many events as possible – One high-quality event per year that truly resonates with our alumni is more than enough.

Need advice or have questions? Feel free to reach out to Šárka, or contact Jakub or Elena directly. They’ll be happy to support you.
