MY MANIFESTO
I am contesting for the post of President because I want to make the alumni club/association a better forum for all members and to make their participation impactful to the society. I feel strongly that all members should be heard and must have an effective platform for raising their concerns in relation to mentoring, career development and other such issues. If elected, I will strive hard to ensure that the issues which affect you, or which give rise to concerns are addressed and resolved. As President of the HITEC Alumni Association, I will be responsible for representing you, throughout the various committees and representational systems in place and will do my utmost to assist alumni members through my role. I will also try to pursue matters which are important to you such as job vacancy information/acquisition, information on relevant local/international youth conferences and workshops, motivation for academic research/higher studies by feedbacks, and other related leadership and developmental issues.
