RE: Alumni Association.
TIME, MARCHES, ON..................
Recently, many of us received a card in the mail, requesting us to do
a 30 Second Survey.
Apparently, this was an effort to separate us from our monies,
after we expire?
How disappointing, when many of us in SouthEastern Michigan are still
looking forward to New Programs and Activities for WMU Alumni.
What ever happened to the previous Alumni Survey?
Is it still being discussed 'in Committee" ?
Is it "Classified"?
Of course, this is not unusual, since many of us have been asked before,
for our opinions, which are soon forgotten.
Several years ago, it was reported that a Million Dollars was taken from
the then "Alumni Association, to rehab an old building, that most WMU Alumni
will never see the inside of.
This , for all intent and purposes, ended the WMU Alumni Association.
Many Alumni, who paid foe LifeTime Memberships, were/are still PO'd about
that "debacle".
Talk about DISRESPECT !
(Bait and Switch, Taking ones monies under False Pretenses, etc etc................)
No Membership Cards, no Chapter Meetings, Occasionally a Watch Party at
a local Bar or Saloon, but no Presentations or Visits in Hotels, Community Meeting Rooms,
and no SE Michigan Golf Tournaments as in the past, etc etc...............
Talk about Regression !
Apparently, many WMU Administrators are unaware of the fact that,
SOCIAL MEDIA will never, never, never replace the MEET AND GREET, EYEBALL TO EYEBALL,
and the HEARTY HANDSHAKE !
As we've mentioned before, if you wish to have WMU Alumni invest in our Alma Mater,
It's a good thing to invest in our Alumni.
The recent meeting with the new President, according to our Operatives, being scheduled
during the work week, in downtown Detroit, was so poorly attended that they had to give
tickets away!
Who's Genius Idea was it to insult the WMU Alumni of Southeastern Michigan and
President Montgomery?
Perhaps, President Montgomery, could look into these matters, and use his creative
talents, to create a New and Progressive Western Michigan University Alumni Association.
No one else seems interested, or capable of operating a Functioning
WMU Alumni Association
What do you think?
