Alumni Exco Weekly Updates #3

Dear all,

Hope the week has ended well for everyone. For those who came for the AGM, thanks for attending. For those who didn't, will show you all a ppt that was done for the AGM. It seems to be too big to send thr the yahoo groups. This was presented during the AGM on what was done and what we'll be doing in the coming term. The treasurer report was not part of the slides, but was also presented during the AGM.

Looking at events timeline, there is much to be done. Hopefully with the expertise and resources on hand, we'll be able to organise all of them successfully, achieve the objectives set and plot our way to a bigger vision.

Some updates from the AGM.

1) Junkai will be marketing head. Archiving and consolidating of pictures and writeups will comes under marketing as marketing materials. Believe he'll touch base with Geraldine as and when he needs help on design matters.

2) Sabrina and Nafisah will handle events management and coordination. They will coordinate and keep pace with all the events that are going to happen, including bursary awards, mentorship programs, tutoring programs, etc. Centralising event management is a tough job but essential to ensure that we don't fall behind on things that are suppose to happen. I'm confident they can handle it well.

3) Cia Ai will be our chief writer/ editor. She is currently a law student at SMU. I know her through recommendations from Qixiang & Xavier. She will vet all our writeups for consistency checks before it goes to the website and newsletter. Given her tight schedule, she might not be able to join us for monthly meetings. Tho i do hope she can pop by once in a while.

4) Kent and Xavier will be our secretary and assistant secretary respectively.

5) Ruimin wi
ll be pioneering our CIP program. As mentioned by Ms Siau before, the CIP system in AJ has been ongoing for many years. This is something we can build on, so that in years to come, the AJ community will be recognised as the group that's very much into voluntary work. Based on on-going discussions during the AGM, we can decide if we want to adopt the same home as the school, (so that students can continue doing volunteering work at the same home after they graduate) or adopt a home that only belongs to AJCAA. No decision has been made on this yet.

Me and Siauhui was going thr the AJC Facebook page when we come across this page.

Facebook can be a very powerful tool if we know how to use it well. Still thinking abt this. Anyone has any ideas, feel free to share in the coming Mon's meeting.

BTW, Geeks' Night was a great success with 40 over people turning up. Seems like such an event really appeals to the young crowd as a good way for them to really catch up with their classmates. Majority of them came in classes and groups.

Geeks' Night team, good job! Possible to get the photos and writeup ready for the closure on Mon?

Apologies for the long email. See you all on Monday.

Best Regards

Keith
President
