JAKARTA - New Renewable Project and Energy Management Director of PT PLN (Persero) Wiluyo Kusdwiharto was elected as general chairman of the ITS 2024-2028 Alumni Association (IKA). Wiluyo got the most votes through the IKA ITS Congress voting mechanism at the Shangri-la Hotel, Saturday 10 August.

"Thank you for the trust of all alumni. This is certainly a joint victory and a mandate that is not easy. But with the help of the alumni, God willing, we will carry out the mandate as well as possible with full responsibility," said Wiluyo, in a written statement, Sunday, August 11.

He said the challenges ahead are not easy. Therefore, solidity of ITS alumni is very necessary to deal with them. The important thing is that we continue to maintain boredom. Let's work together to raise IKA ITS," said the alumnus of ITS Machine Engineering.

IKA IKA ITS candidate Faizal Rochmad Djoemadi in a post-election statement congratulated Wiluyo's victory. For him, winning a defeat is not the main thing. Instead, building a better IKA ITS is a bigger goal.

"If the winning plan does not materialize today. That means God's plan to win," said the ITS Electronic Engineering alumnus.

He also appreciated the management of IKA ITS under the leadership of Sutopo Kristanto who was considered successful in bringing IKA ITS up to the level. Therefore, the new management of IKA ITS will have a task that is not light, namely beyond what was achieved by the previous management.

The IX IKA ITS 2024 Congress was attended by regional administrators from Aceh to Papua, as well as Foreign Affairs, and the commissioners majoring as participants. In addition to the new general chairman, the congress has also selected 11 IKA ITS Senate people for the period 2024-2028. Congress also sets the outline of the Policy and Organizational Policy (Gabaka) which will serve as a reference for the management of IKA ITS for the next four years.

The congressional forum has previously received the 2019-2024 PP IKA ITS Accountability Report submitted by Sutopo Kristanto. In his report, Sutopo conveyed a number of important achievements in the management of IKA ITS during the management period. One of them is the formation of the IKA ITS Association Law Entity which was ratified by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights on March 31, 2021.

PP IKA ITS for the 2019-2024 period also strengthened the application to strengthen Alumni Data Information Management (MIDA). This has an impact on increasing the number of registered ITS alumni which encourages the increasing participation rate of ITS alumni in the selection of candidates for general chairman through the One Man One Vote (OMOV) system.

"From 6.1 percent (2,326 alumni) of the permanent voter list (DPT - 37,913 alumni) in 2019, to 14.9 percent (7,648 alumni) from DPT (51,502 alumni) in 2024. This means that participation has more than tripled," said Sutopo.

The congress which lasted until the morning at 03.00 West Indonesia Time (WIB) was closed directly by the Chancellor of ITS Bambang Pramujati. In addition to congratulations, he also expressed hope for Wiluyo's leadership so that ITS and IKA ITS could continue to go hand in hand.

"We have big homework to make ITS visibility and IKA ITS bigger, more and more seen by the Indonesian people and the eyes of the world, that we are alumni institutions and we are extraordinary alumni. That is because it can provide benefits to the community," said Bambang.
