2. PRODUCED A“REFERRAL HANDOUT” from the
response to Survey/Questionnaire, which were sent to all the
Chapters and officers two times. It is hope that the

their current members; and at the same time reach out to
the younger generation and do recruitment.
3. TASK FORCE:Composed of various CPUFOAAI leaders. Worked on a proposal
to raise funds for CPU. On July 13, 2013, the Task Force concluded
that due to the CPUFOAAI organizational structure and its
volunteer leadership, it was next to impossible to have enough
volunteers to work on the project and meet the monthly remittance
quota/requirements, thus the proposal was not pursued

16. GLOBAL REUNIONS:September, 2012 - Successful - 7th CPU Global Reunion in Sidney, Australia; and

2014 - 8TH CPU Global Reunion –was hosted by the CPUAA Florida, Inc.
(CPUAAFI) in Orlando, Florida on July 24-27, 2014. CPUAAFI is a State of Florida
and also a Federal non-profit organization. The CPUAAFI members worked so
hard to deliver a very successful Global Reunion (GR) that alumni immensely
enjoyed. Election and induction of officers were also held .There are some
recommendations that future CPUFOAAI leadership will have to implement.
17. RECOMMENDATIONS:a. Recommending the next leadership develop a fundraising strategy for
CPUFOAAI.
b. Recommending that Federation Leadership review, clarify, and revise, as
needed, the relationship between the Federation and the Chapter hosting the
Global Reunion, including structure, process, and criteria for “ownership” of
the Global Reunion Queen Fund Raising Event.
c. Recommending reevaluation of the existing CPUFOAAI regions due to the lack
of Chapters or at least alumni living in the area and to develop and implement a
plan to restructure the leadership to reflect attention to issues of sustainability,
relevance, equitable representation, etc. Possibly taking into consideration the
population density and driving distances (i.e., Northeast, & DC).
d. Recommending 2nd Vice President position be eliminated and Regional Vice
President (RVP) report directly to the 1st Vice President (VP). Current set up creates
a top-heavy organization. Where representation might be needed in the future, a
Regional VP (RVP) positions should be created rather than a 2nd VP.
e. Recommending the development and implementation of a realistic and sustainable
strategic plan that includes systematic and timely information sharing to Federation
and Chapter leaderships with regard to appropriate roles, responsibilities, and
obligations of federation membership to the Federation, as well as a federation
program for building viable, sustainable, and welcoming communities of alumni/ae
who are willing to be involved in the life and work of the Federation.
f. Recommending that the autonomy of the Chapter has to be looked at in relation
to officers occupying or holding two positions in the Federation, which not only
creates conflict of interest but also deprives the chance for other alumni leaders
to participate in the Federation representation, and make a difference.
g. Recommending concerted efforts to help revive inactive Chapters.
h. Recommending the development and implementation of a realistic, sustainable,
affirming recruitment plan for reaching alumni/ae to ensure that they are linked to
the Federation, chapter, or Alma Mater.
i. Recommending sending out a survey, which focus on building a community
with mutual respect. It should consult alums, both members and not, about
what they want, establishing credibility and integrity of the leadership, and,
developing a program that alumni would want to be a part of.
j. Recommending a real & crucial “campaign” to identify alums and make contact
with them. The Federation programs should create programs that allow for
different kinds of “contributions” and linkages to the organization and to CPU.
k. Recommending that the Federation should avoid just being seen or just holding
up “fund raising,” or be seen as the transmission belt of the university or the
mother alumni.
l. Recommending the review, clarification, and revision as appropriate, of the CBL
in order to develop a realistic, sustainable, and acceptable statutory structure
and process for the governance of the Federation. This should include attention
to such issues as the statutory relationship between the Federation and its
member chapters, the Federation to the “mother alumni/ae association,” the
University, and its various publics and constituencies.
