[ASU] Executive Positions

[Kapatamoyo, Musonda]

I concur with Fletcher and Chogwony. People need to step up. Its not that bad really, except you learn great diplomacy skills and develop a great network of colleagues forever.
And please check out Chimamanda Adichie's presentation about the dangers of the "Single Story":

Well said, Mr former President! We need new blood to carry the flag of ASU to higher level.

Dear ASU family,

I greet you in the name of African Unity, Prosperity and Progress. As a
former Chief Executive and current member of the august organization that
is ASU, I am concerned by the silence on this forum by members to take up
positions in ASU for the coming school year. Nominations were opened a
couple of weeks ago and so far only a single name has been nominated for an
executive position. That, beloved sons and daughters of the continent is
sad and very unfortunate. Don't you think this apathy, the indifference and
the unwillingness to stand in the gap for the African cause here in ASU is
a reflection of the attitude back on the continent? We want change, we want
things to be better and yet we keep on waiting for someone else, not us, to
do it. Following the wise words of the Great Mahatma Gandhi, "Be the change
that you desire to see in the world," I urge one and all to come forth and
run for positions in the ASU to propel the organization forward. I believe
you will not allow the demise of ASU at OU while you are here....that will
haunt your conscience for ever. I urge one and all to come forward and take
advantage of the opportunity to practice leadership skills by volunteering
for a position in ASU. You can nominate yourself or indeed ask someone to
nominate you for a position. Remember, NO ONE will effect the change you
want in ASU or in the world but you. God bless Africa, God bless us all as
we pursue the desire to bring the best in ourselves for the common good.

Fletcher O.M Ziwoya
