From ASHA President’s Desk
Last couple of years ASHA Committee members have put in selfless service and worked towards progress. A number of Activities and Donations have resulted in reaching out to the needy students and organisations needing help.
ASHA Activities since inception till 2017:
- Counselling sessions for students under stress
- Scholarships to the poor students
- Raising funds for the needy students
- Promoting Project Schools
- Entertainment programs
- Summer Camps / Monsoon camps
- Donations to some organisations
We need to build our organisation, that aims to engage rather than just generate operational revenue. It will be our endeavour to have our alumnae engage with us, because Alumnae relationship is like a marriage. Expectation should be, that it must last a lifetime. For this, both sides must contribute. Relationship must grow over time.
If there is little or no value in the relationship, members will feel used and neglected and can end up in separation.
Alumnae seeks meaningful relationships. Lets think beyond Philanthropic support. Alumni organisations need to position themselves as portals between Alumni and Alma mater.
Our Challenges:
- Involvement of Alumnae
- Communication at National and International front
- Members rendering Honorary service
- Sufficient funds to employ Office Bearers
- Leveraging network for Professional Growth
2017 Vision of ASHA is:
- Build and manage an Alumnae database
- Involve Alumnae in Student Development
- Identify and showcase Alumnae Achievers
- Manage Newsletters.
- Manage Emails, and Mobile Apps
- Help Alumnae share opportunities and leverage the network
- Share job and business opportunities
- Create value centric relationships with our alumnae
