On July 23, 2011, the Alumni of the IFP Thailand Alumni Network (IFP THAN) held its 14th meeting at the Child Help Foundation in Khon Kaen province, Thailand, where one of the Thai fellows, Ms. Utis Somjai, is working. This meeting brought together approximately 20 Thai IFP alumni and fellows from Cohort 2003 to 2010 to get to know each other, shared the post-fellowship experiences, and plan for the future network structure and its ways forward as a group of change agents. Dr. Mary S. Zurbuchen, Director IFP Asia/Russia also joined this meeting. Dr. Zurbuchen expressed her deep appreciation to the Thai alumni for their social commitment and leadership. Dr. Zurbuchen presented the IFP Alumni Certificate to newly returned alumni to congratulate them on their academic success.

IFP THAN has formed its network since 2007. To date, it has welcome almost 60 returning alumni to Thailand, the Northeast in particular. IFP THAN�s first collaborative project was a participatory research namely the �Northeastern Identity Study and Sustainable Development�, a two-year collaborative activity. Members of IFP THAN worked together in different geographical areas to experiment and introduce innovative community-based development approaches. The results of their research were presented at the public seminar �Northeastern Identity and Global Change� at Khon Kaen University in Thailand on February 24, 2011. The public seminar was hosted in partnership with the Research Group on Wellbeing and Sustainable Development (WeSD).

While working with their alumni friends from different geographical areas and professional background seems challenging enough for the current network already, they are also thinking about how to expand their partnerships, create more impact at the community and national level, and how their knowledge and skills can be effectively managed and transferred to the next generation.

The Asian Scholarship Foundation under the Royal Patronage of H.R.H. Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn (ASF) has administered the Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program (IFP) in Thailand since 2003. To date, 90 fellows (82 Master�s fellowships and 8 Ph.D. fellowships) from the Northeast of Thailand have been selected. Approximately 60 alumni have graduated from their Master�s and Doctoral program. The alumni of IFP THAN have different work background in 20 provinces in the Northeast of Thailand.
