Alumni Executives Appoint Members to Fundraising Committee

College of Micronesia-FSM

The officers of the Community College of Micronesia and College of Micronesia – FSM Alumni Association (CCAA) made their first act by appointing members to the Alumni Fundraising Committee.

The fundraising committee members include Joysleen Daniel, Taylor Elidok, Strickson Fredrick, Mayson Fredrick, Amanda Jack, Josephine James Saimon, Ruthy Lebehn, Daisy Nanpei Cantero, Jean Welles and Xavier Yarofmal. As the treasurer for CCAA executive committee, Amanda Jack is the chair of the newly created fundraising committee.

The creation of the committee was made in response to the terms of reference (TOR) for the College of Micronesia – FSM’s Endowment Fundraising Steering Committee. Besides establishing the alumni committee, the TOR also calls for the creation of fundraising committees for each campus, for the international community and for government entities.

CCAA was established on the evening of May 12, 2009, after the college hosted a dinner for all CCM and COM-FSM alumni. The event included the election of the new association’s executive committee, which include Wayne Mendiola as President, Pelma Palik as Vice President, Amanda Jack as Treasurer and Pamela Joseph as Secretary. CCAA was the first alumni association created since April 1993.

The CCAA executive committee held their first meeting on June 9th, the second meeting on July 21st, and on July 24, 2009. Besides creating the new fundraising committee, the CCAA executive committee has completed the association’s bylaws and is currently working to incorporate the new association.

Other plans discussed by CCAA executive committee include the need to provide a venue for alumni interaction.
