Organizer
Srinivas Hanabe
Who Attended
15 people of various batches from 1987 - 2001. One III year
student from NITK also attended.
Meeting Agenda
Discuss the growth of our alumni.
Minutes
Here are salient points of our meet today.
- Most of us are part of different NITK groups and there is a good
bench strength from which we can draw.
- We will need to bolster our strength first and foremost and unite
disparate groups under one banner.
- Actively grow the NITK mentorship program as a starting activity
for all alumni.
- Using
social activities to facilitate short term growth and a combo of social
and business activities for longer term growth and stabilization.
- Have smaller meets leading into one larger gathering.
Announce this larger event (~200 people strong) well in advance.
Action items:
- Start up the planning for
the larger gathering. I will do this with anyone who is interested in
helping me with it. (Please email me directly and we can start on this)
- Each one of us will sound off our alumni plans to all the NITK
people
we are in touch with. Please publicize the website and this email
address to people. They can email me or you can supply me with their
email addresses to add to the krec bay area alumni yahoogroups (if they
are not already in it).
- Please let me know if you are interested in hiking half dome.
It is a moderately difficult hike involving a 17mile round trip and a
climb of 4800 feet. We should leave Fri evening and get back Sat night.
You can publicize this event.
- Can any of you help me find someone interested in managing
the website. We have a very basic website and need some expertise in
this regard. I think this is the biggest hurdle we have. The mentorship
bulletin board is all set and ready to go -

for next meeting:
- Meeting on the 29th at Shoreline.
- Discuss the larger get together plans. (these must be on their
way by then)
- Assess current growth and discuss future growth strategies.
- Discuss social/business events that anyone is interested in
hosting and publicity for these events.
