Dear AIB Colleagues:
The University of Colorado Denver’s Institute for International Business (IIB) and Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER), in collaboration with
the CIBERs at Brigham Young University, Florida International University, Indiana University, and University of South Carolina, are pleased to announce the offering of the 2023 ASEAN Faculty Development in International Business
Program. The program will be held from May 15-24, 2023 in Singapore and the Philippines. Attached please find the program announcement.
Founded in 1967, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) today encompasses Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand
and Vietnam. This region of 600+ million people is of critical importance to the United States and the global economy. ASEAN is the world’s 4th largest market, and the United States is ASEAN’s largest source of FDI, while US goods and services
trade with ASEAN totaled an estimated $441.7 billion in 2021. More than 6,200 US companies operate in ASEAN (US-ASEAN Relationship, State.gov Fact Sheet, August 3, 2022).
CU Denver’s IIB-CIBER has 25+ years of experience offering FDIB programs focusing on Southeast and East Asia. These programs have served hundreds of faculty participants
from the US and abroad, including faculty from community colleges and minority serving institutions. For this year’s program, we have selected the theme of ASEAN Resilience, the opportunities and challenges in the region (particularly Singapore and the Philippines),
and its implications for US global competitiveness.
We invite your participation in the ASEAN FDIB program. As noted in the announcement, a limited number of
registration scholarships may be available to faculty awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
