The AIB Northeast Chapter is thrilled to announce that Dr. Crystal Jiang, Professor of Management at Bryant University and a valued member of our chapter board, the current Secretary and previous Chair of the AIBNE Chapter, has been elected to the Executive Board of the Academy of International Business (AIB).

This is a landmark achievement — not only for Crystal personally, but for our entire chapter. Her election to AIB’s highest governing body reflects years of dedicated scholarship, exceptional leadership, and tireless service to the international business community.

Crystal has been a cornerstone of AIB NE, growing her involvement from conference participant to session chair, track chair, and conference chair, and ultimately becoming one of our most inspiring board members. Her journey exemplifies the spirit of mentorship and collaborative excellence that defines our chapter. We are confident that her care, compassion, and strong work ethic will continue to bring tremendous value to AIB and to our field.

Please join all of us in extending our warmest congratulations to Crystal. We look forward to the continued impact of her leadership — for our chapter and for the global AIB community.
