Meaningful time...
Hi everyone, I’m Hermes Doupas, Class of 2006. I’ve had the pleasure of spending meaningful time with Suki on AIAR trips, at fireside chats, and during visits to Dubai. She brings people together, organizes fun and engaging events, and is incredibly likeable, outgoing, inclusive, and warm. Her achievements as a businesswoman and author, along with her dedication to family and personal growth, make her the perfect person to be president. I am personally voting for her and highly recommend that you do too!

True value of our global community...
Suki has fully restored my belief in the AIAR. She has a rare ability to bring people together with warmth, purpose, and sincerity. Through her openness, generosity, and genuine care for others, she showed me the true value of our global community. She leads with heart, clarity, and inclusivity, and I wholeheartedly believe she is the leader our association needs right now.

Fostering a true sense of belonging....
I wholeheartedly support Suki. She embodies the values that have shaped us: integrity, generosity, curiosity, and a deep sense of community. Suki leads with wisdom drawn from experience, presence in the moment, and a clear vision for what lies ahead. She listens, she connects, and she brings people together with authenticity and care.
She has already shown how powerfully she can unite people through her leadership of the AIAR UAE group, where I first met her, creating a space of connection, collaboration, and belonging. I have no doubt she will bring this same energy, commitment, and heart to the AIAR worldwide community. Her dedication to nurturing relationships and fostering a true sense of belonging makes her not only a natural leader, but someone who truly represents the spirit of our community. I fully trust her to carry this forward with purpose and heart.

She consistently brings out the best in people....
Hi everyone, I’m Artemis Doupa and I’m proud to support Suki for Alumni President.
What stands out most about Suki is how she consistently brings out the best in people. She only ever speaks positively of others, and she’s generous not just with her time, but with her energy, attention, resources and willingness to show up when it matters. She has a rare mix of warmth and effectiveness: she makes people feel genuinely included, and she also knows how to make things happen.
Her accomplishments as a businesswoman and author are genuinely impressive but what matters even more is how she uses that success in service of others. Her book is powerful and practical, and I’ve seen how its message can truly shift people’s lives for the better.
Suki is deeply committed to our community and has a natural way of turning good intentions into real momentum. She leads with heart, clarity, and purpose, and I have every confidence she’ll strengthen the AIAR in all the ways we’ve been hoping for. I’m voting for her and I wholeheartedly encourage you to do the same.
