Service Committee
From AAA Wiki
Contents |
Overview
Service Committee is a branch of the Asian American Alliance board that, like the organization as a whole, strives for awareness and education about APA issues through community-level engagement and service. The academic experience tends to isolate college students from the social circumstances that surround us. By coordinating community service events within Asian American enclaves in New York City, the Service Committee seeks to break that university bubble which we often find ourselves within. This deep investment in community issues often requires a different set of hands and interests to plan its logistics and events. The Service Committee is modeled after the Political Committee to find time outside organizational board meetings to plan such initiatives, which the Community Chair presents to the executive board. The Community Chair for 2009-2010 is Sahil Shah SEAS '12.
All Service Committee members are welcome to Tuesday executive board meetings and are considered part of the overall AAA board. The Service Committee's mission statement can be found on its Facebook group, at http://www.new.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=13752100031
