You are invited to the GIA General Assembly on Wednesday 22 February 2012 5:30pm at the ILO, Room 6.20
ILO entrance to the building by the bus stop 'BIT'. Follow the signs to the R2 North entrance.
You will need your ID badge (best) or if not an official ID (passport or ID card-Europe), you'll exchange this with a visitor pass at the security entrance.
Meeting 'Introduction to Geneva' start early...5:30pm. Someone will be at the security 5 minutes before that time to escort you in.
Then followed is the General Assembly, which will start at 6pm, until approximately 7:30pm. Ideally all people (non UN badges holders come in before 6pm, security is happier then).
Both meetings take place in room 6.20 (6th floor, room 20).
What do we do?
Membership and Advocacy is fairly self-explanatory. Membership means registering new members, synthesizing membership information across all inputs and maintaining an up-to-date master list. Comprehensive and current member information is crucial to the effective functioning of GIA and goes hand-in-hand with a successful communications strategy.
The group is also developing and maintaining an alumni network. GIA is a brand new organization, meaning that our current pool of alumni is small. An alumni network has significant potential for social and professional networking and in the future could serve as a major membership draw.
Advocacy is responsible for new member recruitment. The working group brainstorms outreach strategies. In the interests of being truly representative, GIA Advocacy endeavors to reach NGO interns and those at underrepresented UN organizations.
