The place of meeting shall be determined by the Board of Trustees.

Decisions of the General Assembly shall be considered valid upon the simple majority vote (of fifty percent plus one) of members in good standing who are present at the Annual Meeting. A majority vote shall be determined by secret ballot, or upon agreement when there is no objection, by simple raising of the hands, or by yeas and nays. Voting may also be exercised in person, through remote communication, electronically or otherwise, subject to compliance with the rules and regulations as may be issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A simple majority of the members of the Board of Trustees present physically or by tele- or video- conference shall constitute a quorum. Tele- or video-conference meetings of the Board of Trustees may be conducted in accordance with the requirements of law, provided that:

Details to the above are in the document Procedures and Requirements for Participation in the AMM, as seen in the link below.

Due to the current situation, there will be NO onsite voting. We encourage all alumni to update their membership and vote!

Are you aware that we now have 16 Regional Campuses nationwide? Yes indeed. The PSHS System now boasts of this many campuses all over the country, churning out graduates specially trained in science and math in order to respond vigorously to the promotion of national development in advanced science research and technology.

The officers and members of the PSHSNAA Board of Trustees hosted an acquaintance dinner with the regional campus directors on 3 December 2016 at the Provenciano's Restaurant in Teachers' Village, QC. Fourteen campus directors were present during the affair, plus PSHS System Deputy Executive Director Dr Rod De Lara, who also represented System Director Dr Larry Cabatic.

In this photo are DR SALVADOR ROMO (Nueva Vizcaya aka CVC) on second, clockwise; and DR ROD DE LARA (PSHS System Deputy Executive Director) on second, counterclockwise.

Within its term of office, each member of the 16-man PSHSNAABOT'16-'17 has been assigned to visit one of the 16 regional campuses in order to be introduced to the students and regional campus administration, and ideally, to our co-alumni in the regions. It will be an opportunity to find out more about alumni affairs across the country, where the PSHSNAABOT may be of help either in alumni organisational formation or regional alumni-led projects.

PSHSFI and PSHSNAABOT fellowship meeting

A meeting between the members of the PSHS Foundation Inc (PSHSFI) and the PSHS National Alumni Association Board of Trustees (PSHSNAABOT) was hosted by the former on 26 November in its office in the Administration Building of the Main Campus. It was the first time the members of the two bodies met together for introductions, and to discuss viable areas of collaboration in current and future undertakings of the Main Campus. Gene Andres, Main Campus School Director, who happens to also be a member of Batch'84, gave a brief presentation about the more pressing needs of the school where any of the two bodies may help address, singly or jointly, especially through technical support, planning and development.

A GATHERING OF ALUMNI

Any news about alumni meet-ups is good news! On 10 September this year, an alumni fellowship called Ugnayan 2 was hosted by Lito Sibayan'75 in his residence in La Vista, attended by about 75-80 alumni from 22 batches invited to the event. Members of the PSHS Foundation Inc (PSHSFI) and the PSHS National Alumni Association Board of Trustees (PSHSNAABOT) were invited as special guests. DOST Secretary Fortunato "Boy" Dela Peña graced the occasion as guest of honour, and shared the new thrusts of the department in technological innovation. Mrs Linda Cordova, PSHSFI Executive Director, discussed their current undertakings being done in close collaboration with the administration of the Main Campus. Jan Espino, PSHSNAABOT Chairman, introduced the other alumni trustees and then newly elected officers of the board, and enjoined all alumni to become more active in the National Alumni Association by participating in this term's upcoming activities.

Ugnayan 1 was hosted by Bobby Castro of Batch'71B in his Valle Verde 4 residence in June 2016. This was attended by the first five batches of PSHS alumni.

The Hub, the official website of the NAABOT, is undergoing improvements that will make it more adaptive to information dissemination for all alumni. We are also currently in the process of fostering closer ties with the officers of the PSHS System and the directors of the Regional Campuses, now comprising 16 all in all nationally.
