Vision and Mission

The AIM MDM Impact Advisers Shared Interest Group (SIG) to create a strong, connected, collaborative community of AIM alumni who are practitioners, researchers, and leaders in the field of social development.  

The MDM Impact Advisers (MDM-IA) provides a forum for AIM alumni from all schools, disciplines, and professions to share field expertise, research, and ideas. MDM-IA encourages engagement, cross-sector partnerships, professional exchanges, and mentorship opportunities for members of the AIM alumni community. MDM-IA helps facilitate the transfer of the usable knowledge generated across regions and sectors into scalable development impact. MDM-IA empowers AIM alumni to make a difference by bringing them together in both conversation and action.

To do this, MDM-IA will provide opportunities for AIM alumni including, but not limited to: 1) Networking opportunities through active dialogue; 2) Career development opportunities for new, mid-career, and transitioning professionals; 3) Intellectual enrichment opportunities that include the dissemination of usable knowledge generated by researchers and practitioners; and 4) Partnerships through encouraging cross-sector collaborations. We will actively engage with other AIM Alumni Clubs and SIGS and will work in collaboration with existing AIM activities, programs, and schools.
