Dear alumni,
Hope you are all doing well.
Hereby, I send you the preliminary programme for the Alumni Day.
We have tried to implement as many of your suggestions send to me upon request. It would be great to see all of you in Maastricht on October 3rd! Therefore, I would appreciate it if you could complete the online registration form which you can enter through the link below: http://www11.fdewb.unimaas.nl/nq.cfm?q=992207c5-f20f-6efd-fd92-cb10bcac7eb7 The form is also for the alumni that are not planning to participate. Also, if you would like to actively contribute to the Alumni Day, for example by presenting during the first workshop Governance linkages & Partnerships, please let me know!
Best regards,
Charlotte

Presentations will be given by three alumni for 15 minutes each.

For example: 1 alumnus working within a central state or international government planning office, 1 alumnus who is a current professional working with target groups at grassroots level and 1 alumnus employed with private corporation. Any volunteers?

The session will conclude with an oppurtunity for input from alumni in the many ways that they can contribute to the already bright future of the MGSoG community.
