In his closing remarks, Assistant Professor Mohammad Ahsan Kabir Rubel, Convener of SBF, recapped the forum's journey since its establishment in 2019 as a platform for leadership development and industry engagement. He noted that new executive committees have been introduced almost every year, except during the pandemic. He further announced that, following this seminar, SBF plans to hold another academic programme after the upcoming midterm examinations. Additionally, he mentioned that a special winter outing for members is being scheduled for later in the academic year, with further details to be communicated closer to the dates.
Since its inception, SBF has sought to cultivate leaders who communicate effectively, connect meaningfully, and create a lasting impact.
