Fellow IITian,
It is a challenge and an opportunity to assume leadership of an organization that has experienced continuous growth in the last few years and looks ahead to even greater successes. When the organization consists of more than 500 IIT-ians, it is also a privilege.
With the increasing number of events we organize and the significant dollar amounts in our budgets, it is perhaps also a time to take a step back to consolidate our internal systems. With the needs of a growing and ambitious organization in mind; we have embarked on a number of initiatives that will allow us to consolidate and prepare for greater growth. These include
- Implementation of a membership management system
- Setting up an accounting and auditing framework
- Setting up of a secretariat to carry out basic operational tasks
- Execution of a strategy to build long term relationships with key sponsors and partners.
These investments are aimed to prepare the association to carry out its activities more efficiently and also to be prepared to scale up to the next level of growth, activity and influence.
In the first meeting of the year, we articulated four key objectives over the next 24 months
- IIT Alumni Singapore as a hub for IIT Alumni activities in the region
- Make IIT Alumni more meaningful to its members
- Position IIT Alumni as an influence in policy in Singapore
- Give back to society
I will be updating you on our progress at periodic intervals. More importantly, I would like to invite your active participation in any of the several areas that we are actively engaged in. Choose an area that you fancy. You will see that working alongside your old college mates is both rewarding and fun.
See you soon.
Amrit Barman President, IIT Alumni Association, Singapore president@iit-alumni.org.sg
