The information systems (IS) field is relatively young in Bangladesh and
growing quickly. AIS leaders in the country proactively established an AIS
chapter to address the needs of local IS academics and professionals. AIS
Bangladesh will contribute to the application of IS towards
national-regional-local development in Bangladesh, develop locally relevant
course material. AISB plans to eventually run training courses for
academicians, policymakers, researchers, donor agencies, NGO workers, and
local government officials involved with IS operation/study.

The Bangladesh IS community initially decided to form an AIS chapter in
November 2012. The AIS Executive Committee approved the formation of AISB
in April 2013. Membership will be open to all AIS members in good standing
who either live or work in Bangladesh, or who have a special relationship
to Bangladesh IS researchers or IS research institutions.

The founding leaders of AISB include:



Dr. Md. Mahfuz Ashraf
(President)
University of Dhaka
Md. Rakibul Hoque
(Secretary)
University of Dhaka
Mohammad Anisur Rahman
(Treasurer)
University of Dhaka

They are joined by Md. Abul Kashem, President-elect, University of Dhaka.

In addition to local meetings and seminars, events at AIS conferences, and
local research networks, AISB plans to pursue the establishment of a
Micro-Enterprise IS Business Incubator to assist aspiring entrepreneurs in
rural areas establish and grow viable IS-related ventures.   Further, they
are planning to arrange a National Conference on Information Systems for
the first time in Bangladesh at the end of this year. This will be followed
by a university case study competition.
