Ahmed Osman became President of ICSB during a particularly challenging moment in the organization’s history. Rather than be subjugated to burn out, he gracefully accepted the challenges that arose during this time. As a result, the organization he dedicated himself to is today seen as prestigious, welcoming, and future-focused.
During his tenure, Osman took great care to execute the 2019 ICSB World Congress in Cairo, Egypt. Here, he designed and implemented the 2019 ICSB Strategy Presidential Conference as a way to reflect on the organization’s current status and push it forward to the next chapter. Additionally, he inducted the first Youth Academy at this conference.
Prior to his presidency, Osman was known for his professional, accessible nature and his kindness. As President, he incorporated these attributes into his leadership style in order to motivate the entire ICSB team and shepherd the community towards its future selves. It is with great pleasure that ICSB announces this award as tribute to the legacy of Osman’s great leadership.
The 2022 ICSB Congress honors multiple members and contributors at the Congress’ Signature Gala event.
