❗ STATE WEEKLY ACTIVITIES ❗

 

Dear Distinguished Alumnus,

Compliments of the day. Robert Kiyosaki stated ” if you want to go somewhere, it is best to find someone who has already been there”. ACi is a global platform comprising of change leaders doing exceptionally well in their various fields. But, how can you know what your fellow member is up to without some sort of conversation or networking opportunity? How well can you meet like minded individuals as yourself who can be of immense support in your futuristic projects without a conversation?

In the bid to engage members at all state levels, the ACi Nigeria EXCOs have rolled out the below activities to commence this week:

• Friday – May I Know My Alumni
• Monday – My World of Business
• Tuesday & Saturday – ACi Nigeria Alumni of the Week

1) Each week (Friday), a specific number of members will introduce themselves on the platform. These members will be notified ahead of time for adequate preparations.

2) Interested members who would like to showcase their business or social impact projects, will have the opportunity to do so (every Monday). Interested members should send a message including the state platform they belong. Members will be duly notified on the selected date for presentation.

3) Each week an alumni’s profile will be showcased on all platforms. At the end of the month, a general nomination will take place and the alumni with the highest votes will emerge as the Alumni of the month.

Moderators needed

If you are interested in moderating any of the May I know My Alumni or World of Business sessions, kindly reach out to me with your details.
