It was another busy start for the IECEP Manila Chapter Officers after plotting the possible activities for 2014. Hence to properly organize the planning, the officers have conducted the Strategic Planning followed by the 2nd Board of Director’s Meeting held at the OZ Conference Room, Adamson University, March 1.
Based on last year’s strategic planning, the officers still follow the i-Core Framework document that serve as the guide of the activities of IECEP Manila Chapter for this year. This still includes the welfare of ECT, ECE, PECE and the community.
The i-Core Framework document as originally drafted by Engr. Aleksandre A. Pates, Corporate Secretary and Engr. Ronnie Serfa Juan, is sub-divided into three areas: i-Support, i-Care and i-Juanted. Thus, each of these areas represents the three hearts formed in the IECEP main logo.
The first area, i-Support, focuses on the activities related to the assistance and guidance of all ECE students towards the career path and development of future ECT, ECE and PECE. Engr. Alejandro Ballado Jr. heads the said area.
Meanwhile the second area, which is i-Care, focuses on the activities related to application of the ECT, ECE and PECE professions for the benefit of the community. Engr. Jeriel B. Atal heads this area and it refers to any extended assistance given to our fellow Filipinos during emergency, disaster and the like.
On the other hand, Engr. Ann Dulay heads the third area, i-Juanted and it chiefly focuses on the related activities given to all practitioners of the Electronics Engineering profession. It refers to the idea of providing assistance, career opportunities, and enhancement of skills and development for the continuing professionals to promote the importance of ECT, ECE and PECE discipline.
The meeting was attended by ten out-of eleven newly elected IECEP Manila Chapter officers namely Engr. Armand C. Ursal (Governor), Engr. Ann E. Dulay (Vice-Governor Internal), Engr. Jeriel B. Atal (Vice-Governor External), Engr. Alejandro H. Ballado Jr. (Vice-Governor for Education), Engr. Aleksandre A. Pates (Corporate Secretary), Engr. Evelyn Q. Raguindin (Finance Manager), Engr.
