NGO Club/Association

We wish to form an NGO club on the lines of the Press Club; it could be an association, like the lawyer’s association and associations of other professional bodies.  Suggestions will be eagerly awaited.

1. It will be a place where NGO members can meet socially.  The meetings can be held at different venues: members’ homes, offices, wherever convenient.

2. The meetings shall take place in the evenings after office hours.  All will contribute towards hospitality.

3. The objective is that NGOs come together in an informal setting.  This may lead to sharing of ideas and networking which can assist in co-ordinated action over important issues.

4. The stress will not be talking shop, but relaxing in an amiable environment.  If members of other professions can do so, and have the need for it, so do those working in NGOs.

5. Anyone who is a member of an NGO is entitled to membership.  Members will be encouraged to invite others so that the club continues to grow.

6. As far as possible the NGO club will remain informal in structure and scope.

7. Interaction will be encouraged among NGOs through a pre-designed programme.  For the spectrum of handicapped, those in animal welfare, to those involved in environmental and developmental issues.

8. Members of the third estate _ the print and audio-visual media _ will be welcome to join the club.
