Frontrunners

With one day to go for the Club's first-ever general body meeting, an air of expectancy hung over the members through the morning. A broad consensus has been reached on what activities the Club would pursue and how work should be distributed among the five office-bearers of its managing committee:
Chairman: Will largely oversee the activities of the Club, including administration and maintaining discipline, allocation of work and convening meetings. The buck stops with him. He will also be responsible for organizing special events, such as parties, excursions and celebrations.
Vice-chairman: Will officiate as chairman in his absence, liaise between secretary and treasurer and serve as a front of the committee for all members. Their grievances will also be addressed by him.
Secretary: Will take care of all major activities -- from planning and programming to PR, conceiving new projects, generating revenue, trouble shooting and maintaining records and correspondence. He will be assisted in this by the joint secretary.
Joint Secretary: Will specifically handle membership issues (admissions), attendance and decide upon aid and assistance to members (wherever possible) in times of personal exigencies. Also, will work in close coordination with the secretary.
Treasurer: Will exercise financial prudence while monitoring flow of funds, banking transactions, recoveries and allocation of resources. Shall keep the chairman and secretary in the loop at all times.
The frontrunners for the posts are Hari Singh Shekhawat (for chairman), Yusuf Rassiwala (vice-chairman), Srichand Arora (secretary), Razia Khan (joint secretary) and Monthi Serrao (treasurer) – of course, subject to the approval of the general body tomorrow. Watch this space.
