What is Corporate Support?

Background

After its establishment in 1994, Nepal Geotechnical Society (NGS) has been involved in various activities for the purpose of geotechnical engineering-related knowledge sharing among the society members. It has successfully organized several national and international meetings, but all these activities always involve heavy monetary expenses, and sometimes beyond the society capability. Collecting registration/participation fee is one option for meeting these expenses, but to make it obligatorily payable by each participant/member, the society must go extremely professional, which at this moment is still quite difficult. At this stage, the society heavily lacks financial resources to meet all these expenses, and the lack of financial resources has resulted in less frequent and limited activities. To broaden as well as to professionalize NGS activities, the current Executive Committee has proposed and passed a strategic plan to generate fund for all these activities through revised and strengthened ‘Corporate Support (Membership)’ plan.

Objectives

The main objectives of revising the ‘Corporate Support (Membership)’ plan are as follows.

  1. To provide greater flexibility to an executive committee in utilizing the generated fund in mass meetings including national and international conferences/seminars/symposiums.
  2. To give rise to programs and activities in various parts of Nepal as and when necessary.
  3. To establish regular award system, honoring system, and tokens of appreciation during NGS day celebration on 18 July every year.
  4. To partially cover the financial need of NGS members recommended for participating in international conferences abroad.
