Owen won the general election, held in April 2023, with 56% of the vote. The online election brought together three candidates for ASOMBA Chair who came from the Young Professional (YP) 68 C class. Through this inauguration event, Owen has a leadership period of 6 months. “Thank you to the members of the previous period for laying the foundation for ASOMBA in the next period,” said Indra, Secretary of the ITB Bandung Campus MBA Study Program.
ASOMBA was initiated by MBA ITB students from the Creative and Cultural Entrepreneurship (CCE) class. Their activities include MBA-CCE Night, Cihapit Market revitalization, sports competitions, seminars with senior filmmakers and actresses, and participating in national and international competitions. When the pandemic hit, ASOMBA was dormant and was only re-established in October 2022.
