US Alumni Association in Bosnia and Herzegovina

A community of U.S. exchange program alumni from BiH strengthening ties between 🇧🇦🇺🇸.

30/09/2026

A little over a week ago, we had the pleasure of being part in the AEIF Freedom 250: AI Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Western Balkans Summit, which brought together U.S. exchange program alumni from across the Western Balkans to explore the opportunities and challenges surrounding AI, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

We were proud to have alumni from Bosnia and Herzegovina participate in this important regional gathering and to further strengthen cooperation among alumni networks in the region.

A particularly meaningful moment for us was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the US Alumni Association in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Macedonian American Alumni Association maaa.instaprofile , formalizing our commitment to continued cooperation, knowledge exchange, and joint initiatives.

A special thank you to our partners from the Macedonian American Alumni Association for their initiative and for bringing us together through this valuable regional platform. We look forward to building on this partnership and developing new opportunities for alumni across the Western Balkans.

And, of course, thank you to the U.S. Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina U.S. Embassy BiH for organizing the Summit and for creating a space where alumni, entrepreneurs, researchers, and innovators from the region can connect, exchange ideas, and build partnerships.

Drugi Social Hour u Sarajevu je iza nas. 💙

Ovoga p**a okupili smo se u Hemingway's Bar Sarajevo , gdje smo uz opuštenu atmosferu, razgovor i druženje nastavili graditi tradiciju okupljanja US Alumni BiH zajednice.

Posebno nam je drago što se ova inicijativa nastavlja i što naši alumni prepoznaju vrijednost ovakvih neformalnih druženja. Naš cilj je da Social Hour postane redovna aktivnost US Alumni BiH i da ga u budućnosti proširimo i na druge gradove širom Bosne i Hercegovine.

Hvala svima koji su nam se pridružili i učinili ovo druženje još jednim lijepim susretom naše alumni zajednice.

Vidimo se na narednom Social Houru!

Jedna akademija. Desetine razgovora. Bezbroj prilika.

SEA – Startup & Entrepreneurship Academy nije bila samo niz radionica i predavanja. Bila je prostor za povezivanje, razmjenu ideja i stvaranje kontakata koji ostaju i nakon završetka programa.

Kroz cijelu akademiju, ali i nakon nje, učesnicima ostaje otvoren pristup mreži stručnjaka, mentora i partnera spremnih da pruže podršku kada se pojave izazovi, prepreke ili nove poslovne ideje. Bilo da su potrebni savjeti, mentorstvo ili smjernice za pronalazak finansijske podrške, zajednica je tu da pomogne.

Ovaj video prikazuje djelić atmosfere sa naših susreta: razgovore, nova poznanstva, razmjenu iskustava i trenutke koji su obilježili ovo putovanje kroz Sarajevo, Banju Luku i Mostar. 🎥✨

Hvala svim učesnicima, predavačima, partnerima i prijateljima programa koji su svojim znanjem, energijom i podrškom doprinijeli uspjehu ove akademije.

A najbolje tek dolazi.

Prvi Social Hour u Sarajevu je iza nas, a sudeći po atmosferi, ovo je nastavak jedne lijepe tradicije. ☕️✨

Okupili smo se u Backyard Sarajevo, kafiću u vlasništvu našeg kolege i člana Asocijacije Mirza Mustafagić, WorldChicago alumniste, kojem zahvaljujemo na gostoprimstvu.
Čast nam je, što je upravo ovaj prostor postao mjesto našeg ponovnog druženja.

Social Hour zamišljen je kao prilika da se alumni iz cijele Bosne i Hercegovine bolje upoznaju, razmijene iskustva, ideje, te ostanu povezani nakon svojih programa. Cilj nam je da ova druženja postanu redovna aktivnost US Alumni BiH i da ih u budućnosti proširimo na druge gradove.

Posebno nam je bilo zadovoljstvo ugostiti Sarah Hennessy iz Ambasade Sjedinjenih Američkih Država u Bosni i Hercegovini, čije nam je prisustvo mnogo značilo. Zahvaljujemo i U.S. Embassy BiH na kontinuiranoj podršci našem radu.

Hvala svima koji su bili dio prvog Social Houra. Vidimo se uskoro na narednom druženju! 💙

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Ron Brown Fellowship Program in Bosnia and Herzegovina. To commemorate this milestone, Ron Brown alumna Gordana Martić prepared the publication 30 Years of Ron Brown Alumni Impact in Bosnia and Herzegovina, documenting the Program’s history and the contributions of its alumni since 1996.

Over the past three decades, Ron Brown alumni have gone on to become leaders in business, public administration, education, law, media, civil society, and many other fields. Their work has contributed to institutional development, economic growth, and democratic progress in Bosnia and Herzegovina, while the alumni network has continued to foster collaboration, mentorship, and lasting professional connections.

We invite the U.S. alumni community in Bosnia and Herzegovina, current scholarship recipients, young professionals, and everyone interested in international education to explore this publication and learn more about the Program’s lasting impact over the past 30 years.

Two and a half centuries since the signing of the Declaration of Independence serve as a reminder of the strength of the ideas and values that unite us. As alumni of U.S. exchange programs, we are proud to highlight that the experiences gained in the United States have shaped our professional paths and our contribution to the development of Bosnia and Herzegovina, through our continuous work on activities and projects that make our two countries safer, stronger, and more prosperous.

We are grateful for the long-standing support and trust that the United States Embassy to Bosnia and Herzegovina has placed in our community.

We look forward to continuing our collaboration in the years to come.

Dear Alumni,

With our MAAA supported "30 years of progress in BiH. Where now?" project now completed, we wanted to look back on our experience at the Balkan Alumni Summit in Skopje, North Macedonia.

Our president Adnan Mustafa Hasanagić and board members Dajana Paradzik and Mia Krčum, along with outstanding alumnae Ena Porča, Elma Velić, Marijana Kandic and Slađana Bogdanović attended the three day summit and laid the groundwork for everything we have done so far.

We want to once again thank Macedonian American Alumni Association - MAAA and U.S. Embassy North Macedonia for giving us the opportunity to accomplish all of this, as well as inviting us to the Balkan Alumni Summit, where we had the opportunity to brainstorm, network and gain valuable information and experience.
