The DWU Alumni Madang Chapter hosted their first meeting last week Saturday at the Madang Star International Hotel Conference Room.
The agendas of the meeting included fundraisings, membership fees and annual activity plans to be hosted and planned by the members of the Chapter.
Secretary of the DWU Alumni Madang Chapter, Rex Sos, said that the first meeting followed right after the executive members were elected to run the Chapter.
Sos said that the executives met to discuss in-house issues before the first general meeting took place.
“We the executives sat down to discuss a number of in-house issues before we called the first general meeting where all the members of the chapter took part in to discuss our plans for this year.”
Sos said that agendas discussed during the meeting included a number activities starting with the first one being the registration fee for members.
He said that this is where the executives discussed and came up with a certain amount that the members will pay in order to be part of the chapter.
“Once the registration is done, the members then have access to a number of activities that the alumni chapter will go through for this year.”
“The second agenda we discussed were fundraisings. This is where we planned a number of fundraisings that the chapter will be preparing for and how many will be hosted for this year alone.”
Sos said that the third agenda was choosing committee members for the Chapter.
These working committees will be chosen according to different sectors of the chapter that these committees will be allocated to and will be in charge of.
“The final agenda of the meeting was to come up with an annual yearly work plan calendar where we plan and jot down dates for events, whether it be community service work or an event that is in line with the university or in line with the Madang Community.”
Sos added that the whole purpose of the creation of this Madang chapter is to help give back to the community of Divine Word and to Madang and also to create a unity bond between the Alumni members of Madang.
“The outcome of the meeting was successful and although the turn up wasn’t as expected, we still had enough quorum for the meeting.”
“The committee members and the yearly plan calendar have been finalized and will be announced as of this week,” Sos said.
