Alumni Exco Weekly Updates #4

Dear fellow Excos members,

Since Kent mentioned that everyone is now in the ajcaa yahoo group, I shall stop including individual emails in my weekly updates. For those who came for Monday’s meeting, I believe you all will agree with me that we had a fruitful discussion, where a lot of decisions are made and many things are waiting to be done.

For this week, besides some updates, I also have some thoughts which I hope to hear your opinions on (highlighted in yellow). Your contributions will be beneficial in us making better decisions as a team.

1) From the discussion on welfare for Exco, the treasurer has mentioned that funding is no issue and that the secretaries volunteer to keep track of everyone’s birthdays. If no violent objections, we’ll start implementing this.

For those whose birthdays are over, guess you all just have to wait for the next round. So Kent , shall we start celebrating birthdays during Jun meeting (for those born in Apr-Jun)? Is everyone ok with this proposal?

2) Had coffee with Ridzuan yesterday. With his help, me and Kelly now have admin status to the AJC Facebook group also. Seems like only admin can send Events notifications to the 1,700 over strong community. So we now have another channel to tell those in the Facebook group about our upcoming events.

He shared some ideas on how we can better grow our online presence and the technical challenges involved in improving online engagement. Unfortunately his work commitments is quite heavy, hence he’s not able to help resolve the technical challenges involved in improving the website (changing scripts, building applications, etc). The search for a website programmer who’s willing to volunteer his services on a regular basis continues.

Hear from you all soon. Have a good weekend.

Best Regards,
Keith
President
