Agenda points for discussion during Alumni Meeting on August 6th

.
 1) Fixing a date for the alumni meet.
There is no well defined date for the Alumni Meeting. This has caused a lot of confusion for deciding Alumni Meetings. We have to have a well defined meeting date and add it as a byelaw to the constitution.
.
.
2) How many meetings ?
How many alumni meetings we should have every year ? one or two ? Some say having one close to onam and one close to christmas would be good.
.
3) Representation of every batch in the alumni association/executive. Add as byelaw.
.
4) Finding contacts of senior alumni in all companies and passing that on to TPC.
.
5) Election of new office bearers to Alumni Executive Committee.
.
6) Vision Document.
Have to prepare a vision document for the Alumni Association. On which direction we should go and where we should have reached by our silver jubilee year of 2018. Can some one take this up ?
.
7) Acceptance of Bangalore, Chennai Chapter.
Chapters formed in Bangalore and Chennai should be encouraged and approved. And expenses for the first meeting to be approved.
.
8 ) Online list of all donations made to  Alumni. Prepare a list of all donations made to alumni and make it available on the website.
.
9) Alumni Website not maintained.Somebody has to be incharge of the website. Both from alumni side and from ARC.
.
10) Letter informing alumni activities for students joining and leaving the college.
Every new student joining the alumni should get a paper letter from the alumni association as part of the admissions package. The letter should highlight the importance of alumni and what we have on offer. Similary every student leaving the college should also receive a welcome letter from the alumni association which contains detailed information about the works of our alumni association.
.
11) Editor post.
One frequent request that comes up is a newsletter informing the alumni about what is happening in college and with the alumni. Propose to have a new post in the ALumni executive and ARC for this. Add as byelaw. I have asked whether Arunanand T A (Chairman 2009-10) can take this up since he already maintains a blog of CEC activities.
.
12) Minutes of the alumni meeting to be publicized on the alumni groups mail and websites/blogs.
.
13) Adding the contact information of alumnus to cecians.org/network
During the chapter and faculty meetings in Bangalore, Chennai, Cochin and Trivandrum we have got contacts of a lot of alumni. Update these information to the database in cecians.org/network.
.
14) Clearly defining the roles of alumni executive committee posts.
.
15) Paying expenses of students/faculty for attending conferences.
.
16) Setting up a technical sub committee comprising of PhDs and PhD students. 2007 chairman githin is volunteering to set it up.
 .
17)  Check whether contributions to Alumni Association can be brought under section 80G.
.
18) To encourage students to go for higher education, set up a prize for the student with the highest GATE rank.
.
19) We will be celebrating our silver jubilee in 2018. Have to set up a fund target for that year.
