NLIU Alumni Body as a family

I've perused the draft and I am happy to see the Macaulays being produced from my alma mater. Well, do you need any more comments on the draft.

Secondly or perhaps the most important pillar of any successful Alumni Body is... interaction and bonhomie amongst alumni, which a draft statute may (or may not) generate. Even as the draft is fine, we need to work on its preamble, purpose and objectives. I was blessed to have studied at a great school with a great alumni body and hence I would be very happy to share my experience from there so that the Law School where I was fortunate to be in the first batch and where I could see the University growing from almost a scratch (I remember even the roads in that Agricultural Deptt. Building were being made and there were bulldozers, road rollers and water tankers when I had stepped in the then Campus!!!)

Having said that, as a first step, I would suggest that we work on "developing" chapters as has been suggested in the draft as well. Secondly, members in these chapters should organize meetups. We may not like lectures, debates etc. in such meetups for all the time that's what we do. Lets just meet, mingle, share our happiness (and problems too!!!). Lets try converting this Alumni Association into a family...

God speed!!!
