AKUAANA President’s Message to Alumni, April 2013

April 4, 2013 By AdministratoR

Dear Friends,

I hope everyone is well and enjoying spring.

I wanted to update everyone about a few issues. As you know, preparation for the Summer Alumni reunion during the APPNA meeting is well under way. We will be celebrating milestones for the Classes of ’88, ’93, and ’03. I am hoping that everyone will make an effort to attend, especially our Alumni in Florida.

To this end, I would encourage all planning to attend to purchase tickets for the AKU Alumni dinner to be held on July 5. There has been a change in APPNA policy and unlike previous years, we will be unable to purchase tickets on-site. Please buy your tickets from the APPNA website if you are an APPNA member. If not, please purchase them from the AKUAANA website.

This December will also mark the end of the 2-year terms of the current AKUAANA office bearers. We have put in a call for nominations and look forward to an election at the Reunion. We have received several nominations and will post the details up on the website after the deadline of April 20. All dues paying members and Reunion attendees will be eligible to vote. We will arrange voting for Members who are unable to attend the Reunion, hopefully before July. We will inform you of the details as we work through them.

We continue to work to improve the website. However, your participation is absolutely essential to provide interesting content. Let your creativity loose and share your thoughts and ideas!

In related news, the Steering committee for the Pakistan and Middle-East chapter of AKU alumni is gearing up for its first election. Once this chapter is functional, it will comprise the largest group of AKU alumni and, I hope will facilitate our interaction with the University and Pakistan. We look forward to a productive relationship with them.

I will end with a final request. Please check the status of your dues. If they have lapsed, please renew so that you can take part in the election and help keep AKUAANA afloat!

Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,
Sadaf Khan, ‘92
