Make a Donation?

January 4, 2009

You may have noticed that we recently added a new button at the top of the sidebar on the right:

It is now possible to make an online donation to the SciencesPo Alumni UK.

Why make a donation?

who-is-missingAs you may know, we rely on UK Alumni memberships to finance part of our annual activities and events.

We also ask sponsors to support us when organising extraordinary events such as our first Charity Gala last year.

But we organise an increasing number of social activities, such as our dinner-debates or the SciencesPo Wednesday, which require more and more funding.

Our monthly SciencesPo Wednesday is a good example as this event aims at enabling exchanges and networking between Sciences Po – LSE students and Alumni based in the UK. We try as much as we can to cover the cost of this event for students who can’t always afford it.

We are also aware our now famous dinner-debates can be expensive for students or young professionals who would like to attend. A little bit of funding could help them to attend more often.

Running this website (which is based on as many free software and online services as possible) has a cost – moderate – but still a cost to cover.

All in all, why would you make a donation?

  • Because you know what we do, and you want to support us;
  • Because you believe that we do a good job, and you want to have your part in it;
  • Because you think we can do more, and you want to help us achieve more.

Sciences Po Alumni UK AGM – 16 December 2008

December 13, 2008

Dear Sciences Po alumni UK,

The Sciences Po Alumni UK AGM will take place on Tuesday 16 December at 7h30pm.

As in previous years, the team will undertake a review of activities in 2008, of on-going projects and plans for next year and a financial review. Also, the team will ask members to renew its mandate to lead Sciences Po Alumni UK and promote Sciences Po in the UK.

It is proposed that the Committee (Bureau) will comprise: Stefan Lavau as Treasurer (mandate which he took up last year), Julien Artero as General Secretary (in replacement of Marianne Olivier whom we will thank for her contribution to the Association) and Stéphane Rambosson as President. Noemie de Andia who was Vice President will leave the Committee and will also be thanked for her contribution to the Association; she will not be replaced.

Charitable activities of Sciences Po Alumni UK Trust will be presented by the Trustees Cecile d’Angelin and Maeva Slotine, as well as Stefan Lavau as treasurer.

Key members and contributors of the fundraising team also include Julien Artero, Frederique Andreani and Coralie Poidatz.

Also thanked will be Sandra Cossart for her contribution to our Conference cycle in partnership with the Embassy/Institut francais as well as Xavier d’Aumale, now back at Sciences Po, for his multiple contributions. The team will now also comprise Stephanie Mor!sset, student of the Sciences Po – LSE double master, who has already contributed to the successful launch of Sciences Po Wednesdays, alongside Julien Artero.

All alumni who wish to contribute will be welcomed to join the team. However, it is suggested that specific roles and responsibilities are to be decided by the Committee as a result of identified contributions.

Our team and project will require formal support of the members attending. Any other team and project will have the opportunity to be presented but should be submitted to me beforehand. In line with the former practice and rule of the Association, the President will vote on behalf of every non attending member who has not given a simple proxy (if you wish to give a proxy, please send a simple mail to Maeva Slotine copied and indicate clearly whom you wish to give proxy to).

Also, if you are unable to attend our AGM, may we communicate to you the following upcoming events:

  • Wednesday 14 January: New Year SciencesPo Wednesday at the Walkers of Whitehall, 15 Craig’s Court, SW1A (near Trafalgar Sq) at 7pm
  • Thursday 22 January: hosting at the Institut Français (with Johns Hopkins Alumni), Sciences Po – LSE Professor Marie Mendras, expert on Russia
  • Friday 6 February: Dinner-debate with Sciences Po Professor Olivier Duhamel, expert in French politics
  • Thursday 5 March: Dinner with prominent alumna Clara Gaymard, Western European Head of General Electric

We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you soon.

Amicalement,

Stéphane Rambosson, President, SciencesPo Alumni UK
