I believe the reasons Mohandes stands for a
long time was the passionate members and its
simple but fundamental mandates. Such a mandate
did not need high cash flow but needed
hard working BOD. Election process which
lead the BOD experience flows from one team
of BOD to another one have helped such mandates
flow well. In respond to the reason(s) of
rise and fall of Mohandes, looking to the member
numbers and diary of Mohandes for a long
time, I do not see a large fluctuation but gradual
addition of tasks to the BOD missions and flaws
in process of continuation of the mandates from
one team to another one, sometimes caused a
phenomenon which interpret as disturbance.
3 – What is your opinion about the new
Mohandes constitution?
New Mohandes Bylaws with new vision and
multiple missions needed more teamwork more
planning , more human and fund resources and
more BOD to BOD continuation process which
I hope BOT can help on.
4 – What suggestions do you have to attract
more newcomers and new graduates?
Second generation members and media marketing
could help much while successful new mandates
will automatically absorb new members.
