EMAS Business School creates a unique and valabule opportunity for its students and graduates to start buildng a career as independent Board of Directors.

 The EMAS Business School has done it again!.

This time, it introduced the Creation of the EMAS Club of BOARDS OF DIRECTORS. The varsity authorities made this announcement today (Wednesday, 12th October 2021) to its student community, graduates and related partners.

The official notice about this initiative as shared on one of the students' informaton sharing and networkshop platforms as well as other varsity social media pages states that several projects are being developed and discussed within the EMAS Ecosystem. One of them is the  EMAS Club Board of Directors. It further says that the concept  and the first draft of the Club Rules have already been discussed among the EMAS teachers on strategic management. And these were ready to be submitted to the general discussions of students and graduates for their input.

The official notice confirms that like EMAS, the Club will expand its activities not only to Russia but also other countries. And that both Russian and International Students can participate in the Club activities.

Taking the liberty to attribute the content of the official notice to the Rector of EMAS Business School who shared the information with the students,  Andrey Kolyada says, "the particpation in the club is a very valuable opportunity for a student or gradue to start building a career as an independent Director and Consultant  in the Boards of Directors, to increase their attractivenessin the labour market as a manager to constantly acquire new competencies  and of course to regularly increase their income.

 "At the same time, this is an equally valuable opportunity for companies that seeek to implement best  corporate practices and would like to receive a Board of Directors to help their managers but have have not yet decided or cannot afford to create one, including - and above all, it concerns the companies that are owned and operated by our students and graduates", Kolyada notes.

He further says that the club will give opportunities to both, and regardelss of the country in which you live and work. Without exaggeration, these opportunities are available only in EMAS. We can do this due to to the fact taht we have very, so to speak, high quality students and there are a lot of them".

The  school wide meeting off all interested students, graduates and teachers to further explain the Club creation and its importance in details  and once again discuss the Club Rules will take place on 19th October 2021.

"After the discussions at the meeting, the rules will undergo final adjustements and soon the work of the Club will be officially started, Kolyada. 

The notice says that the Club already has its own website.

It's states that the number of Club members wll be limited by the actual demand for Boards of Directors from companies plus a small reserve . For example, at the stage of creation of the Club, not more than 20 students, graduates and teachers will be admitte to the Club.  New members will be admitted as soon as companies seeking Boards of Directors appear. 

As the EMAS Ecosystem continues to grow, the school authority has encouraged students to subit related projects that can benefit  the system.

As a student of EMAS Business School, the Boards of Directors Club is a milestone for many especially the corporate world of which some, like here in Namibia find some of the businesses wanting regarding fiduciary functions.

On the other hand, many corporate managers who end up climbing the ladder like the author of this report hardly get targeted training or education on how to be an effective board of directors. EMAS is indeed the winner when it comes to empowering and imparting practical and modern skills in the world of business.

No wonder this initiative is out of EMAS, by EMAS & for EMAS varsity community and partners. God EMAS Business School Go. I am a proud DBA student of EMAS Business School and would like to be associated with the Creation of the Bords of Directors Club.
