Keeping up with

President Mathias

The buzzword this year has definitely been ‘sponsorships¨. Coming into the position with a bit of a challenging financial situation and a general lack of partnerships with firms made it a large priority for us in the board from the get go. Through trial and error (and a lot of emails), I’ve done extensive work with Sidsel and Gregers to acquire exciting new partnerships that the next board will have the pleasure of working with. Besides the sponsorships, it’s been great to watch the heads of the Academic, Social, and Communications branch thrive and grow in their roles through the last year. Social has become more organised than ever and is providing a great, varied range of events. We have Communications to thank for our amazing new website and the host of fun and informative social media engagements (my personal favourite is and will always be the ‘Music Fridays’) and Academic continues to knock it out of the park with great supplementary events to our base education. I am proud and honoured to have been able to work with these talented people over the last year, and am humbled and grateful to have been able to serve the best bachelor at CBS. I look forward to meeting the new board, and I am excited to see what they continue to do with the foundations we have created. Thank you for a great year!

Vice President Sidsel

What a year! I have spent most of my time this year making sure that we could secure ideal partners and get the sponsorships that benefit us all! This has proved to be both a challenge as well as a great opportunity to form the Union into something even stronger and even more professional. It was surely difficult in the beginning since the board position was new to me - but luckily I got the hang of it quite quickly and learned a lot. Especially, meeting with the bigger guys out there showed me just how valuable and lovely IBP is being perceived by others too (not only by us haha!) However, I have also enjoyed the role of being “in between” all the different branches. This means that I have still been able to stick with planning within Social (for example our wonderful evening at Absalon!) but also help out within the other branches. But this would not have been possible without strong heads of each branch to coordinate with - not to mention the wonderful IBP’ers that show up whenever they feel interested, ambitious or social! IBP is truly like no other study. Thank you for being wonderful, IBP.

Head of Social Cecilie

I am very proud to be part of such a talented, motivated and dedicated board and not least union. With increased cooperation across bran ches; we can thank Communications for our beautiful social media banners for our events. And we can thank our amazing Treasurer for acing the economy so we in the future can have many more exciting events! One of my major focuses as Head of Social has been organising and restructuring internally, so that we already now can present a plan for this coming semester, including; wine-tasting, Gala 2023 and a Roskilde Festival camp! All of this would not have been possible without the dedicated social team behind. Their hard work and energy keeps inspiring and contributes to our social lives and feeling of togetherness in the IBP bachelor. I believe some of the major successes in 2022 have been our dinners. Our Gala, the communal dinner at Absalon, and Spring- and Fall dinners (with after-parties) have met huge participation across the IBP bachelor and enabled us to meet in new groups and create bonds across the different years. We are all looking very much forward to the third years coming back from their exchange-trips, and last but not least, to the event of the year: Gala 2023! I am also very excited to see what the next Head of Social may bring about for the branch and IBP. I can only say that it has been a great opportunity to grow and experience leadership in a fun way!

Head of Academic Jella

As our time as the board of IBP is coming to an end, I am grateful for so many things that have happened over the course of last year. So, I would like to say thank you to my lovely colleagues from the board, all members of IBP Union and especially Academic and of course to everyone that showed up continuously to Academic events - they are for you and your interest and engagement is what makes them fantastic! The past year was all about making Academic not only informative but also engaging and more social- and I believe with events such as the Election Night or the Simulation Game with the Alliances for Democracies as well as many more we have really accomplished to do that. Moreover, thanks to us having many new exciting partnerships, events for the coming semester are already in planning and opportunities and ideas are seemingly endless. Looking forward, while I will miss being part of the board, I am also more than excited and happy to see what the new board will create. I hope that whoever will take over my and our positions, will find as much joy and opportunities as I did and experience what it can give for our studies and beyond. Thank you for a fantastic year!

Treasurer Gregers

It has been an eventful and successful year for the IBP Union. When we (the current board) were elected last year, we were ”board-rookies”, but through hard work, dedication, and great people in all branches, we have again proven ourselves to be the best student union at CBS. In my first three months as treasurer, I faced many hurdles: The financial situation was very challenging, and the process of gaining access to the Union’s financial accounts was prolonged. However, I can confidently assure the incoming board that these challenges will not be encountered in the future as the Union’s economy is now doing very well. With a tight grip on the economy and efforts to secure funding the economy is standing strong. I have, by example, been able to secure financing for the Union’s merchandise and refunds of expenses for Friday Bar. Furthermore, the board and I have secured new sponsors for the Union. Our most newly agreed partner is Simon-Kuchers & Partners, a fast-growing global consultancy. Lastly, I would like to thank everyone in the IBP Union for their hard work and dedication - you are amazing.
