January 19, 2008 Meeting Minutes
EVI Monthly Meeting
Attendees: Dr. Joseph Akomodi, Abraham O. Okomanyi and Dr. Sunday Okomanyi Abraham.
President’s Opening Speech
The President thanked the participants for finding the time to attend the meeting. He reiterated the importance of this meeting and hoped that whatever would be discussed will be meaningful in the life of our people.
Application for scholarship through EVI website
The need to provide the applicants with the ability to submit applications online through our website was discussed. The intent was to create the features on our website to provide a systematic guidance (according to the scholarship program outline sent along with the December 2007 meeting minutes) to those applying, and collect their identities and applications online. This is an elaborate undertaking requiring significant time to accomplish, and given the limited time available before application deadline, March 30, 2008, this task cannot be completed soon enough to enable applicants to submit applications. Therefore, the decision reached was to ask the applicants to e-mail all the required information (as detailed in the scholarship program outline) to EVI through our e-mail address. To access our e-mail address go to EVI website and click contact us.
Regarding collecting WAEC results, academic achievements for the last three years of college and record of conduct, it was decided that a home-based person would need to coordinate this activity. Someone has been identified, who will be contacted in due course.
Dues and Donations – Method of payment and deadline for 2007/2008.
The participants re-affirmed their commitment to donating $500 each before the end of March 2008.
Scholarship to 2008 University Students – How to ensure that students are aware?
In response to EVI’s request about advertising EVI scholarship program, Ebiraview wrote to EVI agreeing to cover the advertisement in its Newspaper. In the response, Ebiraview provided the costs associated with different coverage. EVI has decided to go with a one-page coverage. The advertisement will be in two stages: a) advertisement of the scholarship program; and b) advertisement of the winners of the scholarship.
The Treasurer, Abraham O. Okomanyi has been asked to touch-base with Ebiraview to discuss method of payment for this service.
In addition, fliers, containing the outline of the scholarship program have been sent home for posting in colleges throughout Ebiraland.
Downloading Images from Video of the Material Aid Event at Ihima to EVI Website.
As we continue to develop EVI website, the images from the video will be downloaded onto the website. This should provide information to visitors to our website of our unwavering commitment to serving the people of Ebiraland.
Meeting Adjourned
The President thanked all the participants for the good discussion and adjourned the meeting.
