Kosovo United States Alumni

Kosovo United States Alumni (KUSA) was established in 2007 with the help of the U.S. Embassy in Pristina (then the U.S. Office), and the founding board, a dedicated group of U.S. Government-funded program alumni.  KUSA is a not-for-profit association.  Its membership is a diverse, non –partisan, independent group of bright and creative individuals that are compassionate, action-oriented and exhibit uncompromising integrity. 

KUSA operates as a democracy that values diversity of opinion and background, fosters open discussion and debate, and supports all alumni equally.  The founding board set up KUSA’s infrastructure: its name, its registration as an NGO, its bylaws, mission, strategic (3-year) and 2008 annual plans.  

The KUSA Center at AUK and the monthly KUSA e-Newsletter debuted in 2007.  At the first KUSA General Assembly in December 2007, over 150 members elected the first operational board.

The board consists of the:

President: Mimoza Kusari – Lila Vice President: Valon Berani Secretary:  Kujtim Kerveshi Communications Director:  Valon Kurhasani  Domain Officer: Vacant  Treasurer:  Burbuqe Deva–Bakija  Community Officer: Avdyl Lipoveci and two members at large:  Ali Kllokoqi   Burim Leci
