LLICSA INTERIM GOVERNING FRAMEWORK (Draft) LLI & LLICSA Combined Advisory, Oct. 12, 2014 Freddie Tividad Tesalona, Executive Director New York City Mrs. Babylyn Bautista-Felix has requested that she be replaced as president of the LLI College Scholars Association. The election of the new set of officers scheduled last month did not materialize primarily because of poor attendance by the alumni. Although very able, successful and dedicated, Belen is burdened by her demanding work as a PLM college instructor, writer & author, and entrepreneur. She has been serving as president for over four years. A big constraint to holding the LLICSA election is lack of a quorum due mainly to the persistent absence of many alumni members. In realistic terms, this problem does not look reversible short term. We need to accommodate the wishes of Belen. Additionally, there is a pressing need to keep LLICSA moving and achieving. Along those lines, I have prepared and drafted the LLICSA INTERIM GOVERNING FRAMEWORK. I am particularly requesting all LLI college scholars – alumni and undergraduates, including the members of the LLI General Council – to review and comment on the proposed document. In the event that there is no substantial and material objection to the Framework that is communicated to the Executive Director as of October 20, 2014, this Framework will be released officially thereafter. Before its official release, it will undergo appropriate revisions as needed based on the comments and suggestions of the scholars and the GC members. The Framework follows: LLICSA INTERIM GOVERNING FRAMEWORK (Draft; not official yet) Issued: October 12, 2014 ● Article One - DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES It is the organic and long-standing objectives of the LLI College Scholars Association (LLICSA) to: 1) Engage in programs and projects that promote the vision & mission of Lubang-Looc International (LLI) - a civic, educational, humanitarian and non-partisan organization; 2) Advance the personal, academic and professional growth of the members of LLICSA, both alumni and undergraduates; 3) Constitute LLICSA as a promoter of the interest and welfare of its members and of the community it serves; and 4) Manage LLICSA as a professional, dynamic and results-oriented organization. ● Article Two - LLICSA INTERIM GOVERNING FRAMEWORK Section 1.
