Marc Ablaza, MBM ‘95 Batch Representative, explained that the speaker series is no ordinary speaking engagement. “It provides a much-needed arena for an informed and purposeful exchange on relevant issues,” said Ablaza.

How do we go about it? We start with intelligent discourse. This is why and how Notables at AIM came to be. We are going to talk about inclusivity in the workplace for increased productivity; in our institutions and industries for growth, and in our communities for general wellbeing. Inclusivity is a critical yet complicated humanitarian issue. Let’s start engaging with it.”
AIM MBM Batch ’95 organized Notables at AIM to further the renowned international management school’s advocacy in providing quality education. The batch also hopes to raise funds for scholarships.
