Dear IIMCians,
The Central Committee met on 1st September at IIMC HQ, New Delhi. IIMCAA President Ms. Simrat Gulati presided over the meeting that was attended by Former Presidents Mr. Kalyan Ranjan, Mr. Prasad Sanyal, IIMCAA Care Fund Chairman Mr. Nitin Pradhan, General Secretary Ms. Deeksha Saksena, Treasurer Mr. Animesh Biswas, Secretary Mr. Shankar Pandit, Communications Head Ms. Kanishka Tiwari, CC Member Mr. Ritesh Verma, Ms. Vani Shukla, Md. Ijaj Khan, Mr. Sachin Yadav and others.
The committee discussed various issues listed in the agenda and has made following decisions/ recommendations.
1. Annual General Meeting– The CC has decided to host the Annual General Meeting on 29th September. Agenda for the AGM were discussed as well and recommended to the Governing Council for discussion and approval before it is presented to the general body for adoption.
A. Lifetime Membership Fee– The CC has recommended to raise the Lifetime Membership Fee from INR 10,000 to INR 20,000. Fee hike is required since Annual Membership Fee was revised, after 11 years, from INR 500 to INR 1000 in 2023 while Lifetime Membership was left unchanged at INR 10,000.
B. Governing Council– The CC has recommended replacing the word “National Council” with “Governing Council” in the constitution. This is an old decision and in effect already. This is just a semantic change wherever “National Council” has been mentioned in the constitution.
C. Chapter and Sub Chapter Committee Elections– The CC has recommended inserting a sentence in Election Rules 14.10 that deals with elections of the Chapters and Sub Chapters. Revised rules shall read as;
14.10 Chapter/ Sub Chapter committees may frame their own election rules or go for an open election meeting to choose the office bearers when they feel the requirement or necessity to hold the elections. Such rules must not be in contravention of IIMCAA’s Constitution.
2. IIMCAA Awards 2024– The CC has decided to keep the awards presentation ceremony of IIMCAA Awards 2024 an invite only event. CC has approved a list of invitees that includes guests, award winners, jury members, lifetime members, sponsors and central team members who are actively participating in meetings & activities only.
Anyone beyond this list is free to avail invitation by paying INR 4012 (INR 3400+18% GST) at www.iimcaa.org by15th September 2024. Registration date will not be extended.
3. IIMCAA Care Fund– The CC decided to make a minimum annual contribution of INR 2,00,000 to IIMCAA Care Fund to carry out its activities. Maximum contribution shall be 10% of sponsorships.
Thanks & Regards,
Deeksha Saksena
