Benedict Devarajan, Secretary's statement

I had personally raised a few issues about the Alumni Assn. of the school after members of our batch found that there were holes in the way this Assn functioned.

Some key issues -

There is no official communication. Sketchy emails are resorted too.

Payments made in the past were not acknowledged with formal receipts.

The rules and bylaws are not provided to those who become members.

In response to my e-mails, here is what Benedict Devarajan, Secretary states ----------

Good to hear from you and to know that you are very much interested in crystallizing the Association. We need mature people like you in the framework of our Association.

Perhaps yes, you are right in saying that we need more crystallizing, but to say that we are only nominated heads is wrong. As the current Secretary of the Association, I would like to say that this current committee is a democratically elected body of past alumnus on 1.9.2007. As you desire to see the set of rules and by-laws, you are always welcome to school (on a working day) and know about it more from the management.

This current Committee has appointed a teacher of the school as a Treasurer, only to ensure that it would be easy for the school management to audit the accounts of the Alumni Association, when their school accounts are also audited simultaneously. And the current Treasurer is Mrs. Romila Fernando. Any queries regarding to "the gist of accounts" can be had from her.
