Dear Arsene,

Afternoon, Injecting into your response, I suppose you might not know well the history of NPOC as I have been there since inception over a decade ago, the commitment to the work is key as its voluntary, as someone who have served in voluntary organisations like YMCA now as my Local Rotary Club president, I know what it takes to volunteer and walk the talk, these gentlemen have done that so far.

Lastly our New Charter is just coming to life and it's good we allow institutional memory from those who were involved in the Charter coming to life to see the new charter coming into life properly and then the mentorship begins properly after this new cycle. We can only mentor when folks come forward and in terms of Outreach and engagement with the new member organisations of NPOC we shall see activity coming up soon. Even within NCSG we see that those committed to doing the work that are at the forefront, the names speak for themselves. Your concerns are noted but let's be practical and know we just have a new charter in place.

Thank you for your comments.

Kind Regards

Poncelet

Colleagues,

I know the listed colleagues are great and they have been around these positions for very longer. I don’t have any issue with any of them in particular or if NPOC membership decide to bring them back but I am wondering, do we really don’t have new and fresh blood that we want to bring in these positions ?

For the time they have been in position, they haven’t been able to identify or mentor other outstanding members who can work for NPOC in these positions? Some of them have been in leadership positions for more than 5 years, going from one to the other position.

I am appealing to them and would like to see ALL of them refuse the nomination and each one of them nominating a new person they have mentored and who they believe can serve. Their role could be to support in the background but we really need new people in all of these positions .

Just so everyone know : I am not planning to contest for any of these positions. Kindly do not nominate me for any of them.

Thank you!

Arsene
