About CoR:
The Council of Representatives (CoR) is a legal body to help our alumni association in the day to day functions. It has members from alumni and students. The council will represent interests of alumni, students, faculty and staff for our alumni association.
For student, it is one representative from each dept (total 16). For alumni, it is one representative from each branch/year.
Our association has 3-tier structure: bottom is 6,500 (current) registered members, CoR with 100-200 members and top is Board of Directors (BoD) with 17 Directors.
BoD makes all executive decision and directs the working of our organization. CoR members elect BoD and help them in making informed decision.
Thus the responsibility of CoR members will be (“alumni” include alumni, students, faculty and staff):
-To elect BoD by voting process
-To help BoD in making day-to-day decisions
-To discuss about any alumni related issues such as alumni projects, funding, chapters, etc.
-To act as a communication link between BoD and members
-To vote on key issues as and when needed
-To put forward problems faced by own community (from class/department)
The term for CoR member is for two years and next election is planned for the end of 2010. Once elected, a CoR student member shall serve for full two years, even if he/she leaves college earlier.
Most of the work involves participation in discussion by email exchange.
The advantage of CoR is that not all 6,500 members can be consulted every time for decision making (it is not possible). With CoR, the number is manageable. Also by communicating with CoR member, a message can be sent to entire class/department effectively. This also gives the opportunity for a class/batch or department to put forward its view/suggestion/complaint to BoD officially, so that it can receive special attention.
About nomination and selection:
Please note that the selection is a straight forward process. If there is one nomination for alumni, for any seat, there will not be election. If there is more than one nomination, then we will inform all candidates to discuss among them. If still there is more than one candidate, then only online voting will be held. The voting will be done by the respective class or department. We try to avoid voting business.
