The American Alumni Association (AAA) successfully hosted its Brain Gain Series session on Monday, October 27, 2025, at the UCB Head Office, Gulshan, Dhaka. The session featured distinguished development leader and AAA member Mr. Asif Saleh, Executive Director of BRAC, with Ms. Nusrat Aman, Former President of AAA, serving as the moderator. The event brought together AAA members, guests, and professionals for an engaging discussion on “Social Development & Enterprises” from a global perspective.
