Changes to the COEP Foundation Board of Directors
Jan22 | Susheel Announcement about Changes to COEP Foundation Board of Directors
Hello All,
I am sending this email to inform you about the changes to the COEP Foundation Board of Directors.
Prof Haresh Shah (1959 Civil) who has played a key role in the formation of the organization has decided to resign from the Board after 3 years of service. Prof Shah who is the founding Chairman, devoted his time/energy as well provided financial resources to help this organization emerge and grow in the past 3 years. He helped to establish the connection between the COEP Foundation and the institute/Indian alumni association and also helped to spread the word about the COEP alumni amongst the students/faculty of the institute. On behalf of the entire Board of COEP Foundation, I would like thank Haresh for providing his leadership for the past 3 years and look forward to his guidance from outside the Board as we try to grow the alumni network and help COEP achieve it’s vision of excellence.
Mr Chris Lawrence (1978 Mechanical) has also stepped down from the Board after 3 years of service. Chris was instrumental in the spreading of the Chapters of the organization and guided the formation of the California Si Valley chapter of this organization. Chris also provided guidance and support for the database project which involves updating the information of ~25,000 COEP alumni spread in India and around the world. We would like to thank Chris for his service to alumni association and look forward to his support for the organization in the future as well.
