[ASU] Reminder: African Heros Meeting Sunday 30th-6:30 Friends of the library Alden 3rd Floor

[African Student Union at OU]

Hi all:
If you did not have the chance to read my email below, this is a
friendly reminder to attend this *CRUCIAL meeting tonight, 6:30 pm*. I have
been able to get us the *Friends of the library that is more convenient
than the Cafe Baker Centre*. This meeting is about YOUR African Hero's
Night, the most important winter event, if not the most important of the
year at all. I am guessing that you all want to be part of the
decision-making process and I highly encourage you to do so.
Please, make sure you bring $5.00 cash to pay your membership dues. All
Hero nominating GB members are REQUIRED to attend the meeting. We can not
make any decision about your nominees if you do not show up to introduce
her/him and answer questions.I will be very happy to see all of you tonight.
Best,
Manu, President.

 I value your time.

Dear ASU,

We look forward to the African Hero selection tomorrow night.  The meeting
will be at the cafe Baker Center. We will start at 6 pm instead of 7 pm as
the GB of the last meeting suggested, just in case we happen to go beyond
the one hour. I value your time and i believe you do too. So please be
there on time so this meeting does not last more than ONE HOUR. The Cafe
will close at 8pm and I know you all need to get back to your papers and
homework.
First and foremost, everyone who nominated a hero is responsible for
attending the GB meeting tomorrow to speak about why your nominee is worthy
of this title.  You are expected to defend the feasibility of this
nominee.  ie. Can you contact him/her? What's the likelihood of getting
him/her to Athens on Feb. 11? Please note that in order to vote, you must
be a fully paid member of ASU for the quarter.  Please bring cash to
tomorrow's meeting if you are not paid up.

The African Hero selection process will be conducted as follows:
1) Each GB member who has nominated a hero will be asked to respond briefly
to the following questions:
    a) Do you have personal contact with your nominee?
    b) How feasible is getting him/her to Athens on Feb 11?
If after these questions it is determined that the nominee is not feasible,
that nominee will be taken off the list.
2) The remaining nominees will be given 3 minutes each to be defended by
their nominating GB member.
3) The floor will open to 5 minutes of questioning after each nominee
presentation.
4) After all nominees have been defended, ballots will be distributed to
all paid ASU members. Voters should indicate their first and second choice.
5) Ballots will be tallied after voting.
6) A first, second and third choice will be designated in case of
infeasibility.

Please note that time limits will be strictly adhered to.

A list of the nominees is provided here so you can research on your own if
you wish:
a) Professor Kwabena  Frimpong-Boateng - Prince Adu
b) Professor Eustace Palmer - Yacoubou Alou
c) Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah - Prosper Tsikata
d) Dr. Wanjiru Kamau - Edwina Lebbie
e) Prof. Gottlieb Lobe Monekosso - Flabius Mayoa
f) Derreck Kayongo - Manu Ngueyanouba
g) Prof. Kofi Anyidoho - Shaka Bello

Nominations are still accepted until Sunday 30th- 5pm.

Best,
Manu, President
