Message from the Chairman of the Board: Vicky Xu

December, 2005

Dear members,

After five years of strong dedication and hard work from our alumni volunteers, the SJTU Alumni Association of Silicon Valley has grown to over 1000 members and many active volunteers. In October of 2005, we had the second election of the Board of Directors. We are also making changes to the by-law to further improve the structure of the organization and make our organization more effective and beneficial to our members.

Our vision is for SJTU-SV SJTU-SV to provide a platform for our alumni to help each other in all aspects, including exchanging career development and business ideas, as well as providing a community for our alumni to share experiences and tips in life and build up closer personal relationship. We also believe that it is important to have a small and functional Board of Directors to make major decisions and provide support and guidance to the president and the executive team.

The new board of directors is consisted of seven Directors: (in the alphabetic order)
Leo Cai, Maggie Cai, James Jin, Williams Lu, Alan Xing, Vicky Xu, Miangang Zhao

The advisory board members remain as:
Sheng-Wu Xie, President of SJTU
Zong_Guang Wang, Former Chairman of Council, SJTU
Hai-Bo Dai, SJTU alumnus, Director, Pudong District, Shanghai
The current board has a term of three years and will focus on:
1. Complete the amendment of the by-law
2. Recruit more active volunteers to the Volunteer Committee and the organization.
3. Recruit more established alumni to the organization to provide mentoring to the younger members.

Please visit our website (www.sjtu.org) for more details. We welcome all SJTU alumni and friends to join our organization (email to sjtu-sv-subscribe@yahoogroups.com). We encourage more alumni to join the volunteer committee.

Chairwoman of the Board
