Meeting Summary

Scholarship program for underprivileged students in Bangladesh

EC recognized that the idea behind this project is a noble one and should be supported by all. EC members carefully reviewed the proposed project guidelines and discussed various aspects of the proposal. It was decided that this initiative merits more discussion with the proposal stakeholders. As such, the EC will organize a special meeting with the proposal stakeholders to discuss EC’s review findings and to figure out a way forward. The meeting will be held in early April, 2021. All stakeholders will be contacted soon.

Arefin fund collection and disbursement

The overwhelming response from the community enabled JEXCA NA to raise more than $16k. Funds have been transferred to JEXCA in Dhaka. These funds will be handed over to the Arefin treatment account soon. The fundraising effort for this purpose is now closed.

EC communication in jexcanorthamerica Viber forum

It was brought to the attention of EC that some members may be confused about Ec’s role in the jexcanorthamerica Viber group. EC would like all members to know that this Viber forum is a community group and not an official channel of the JEXCA NA EC. EC members may use this community forum to share some official information using their official titles. JEXCA NA EC doesn’t have any administrative role in this forum.

Virtual get together on March 27, Saturday @2 p.m. PDT

A follow up email with a high level program outline will be sent out soon. JEXCA NA EC will present activity highlights of 2020 among other things. EC will also discuss a proposed virtual AGM to be held in July, 2021.
