 Treasurer: Georgia Mae Cuizon

 Georgia proposes fund-raising activities that would be profitable for the organization but would not require money from the members (i.e. paper drive, bottle drive, book sale, fund run, and caroling). She also offers a reward/incentive for committees who were able to settle their dues and perform well in the fund-raising activities.

Secretary: Angeli Anne Joyce Anyayahan

BOND is what Treena wants to strengthen. Bond between members by Bridging gaps, Opening communications to help us reach out to each other, Networking, and Driving each other to success.

President: Janina Santos

For her term, Janina wants to focus on three things: Unity, Identity, Externality. She plans to promote unity by improving the members' attendance to activities by creating a point system and rewarding the committee with the best performances based on points. Identity will be boosted by hosting PAFT parties and highlighting past activities and achievements. Externality will be promoted by reaching out to other student chapters with activities such as the PAFT Links and introducing Food Technology to high school students.

There you have it, the Executive Committee for AY 2011-2012. Your PAFT-Alpha family wishes you the best in your term.

Congratulations!!
