Participation in NABIC could
take two forms -
Financial and Physical. Financial participation
may come via two ways: Membership
and Donation.
As far as
physical. participation goes, one has to remember that
for its first 14 years NABIC has been an all-volunteer
organization. Starting in late September 2004, NABIC
hired its first and only paid staff member. Still, a
large amount of NABIC’s activities are facilitated by
volunteers, be they in the Board or outside. NABIC would
like to intensify its existing work and expand to
reflect its missions and its potential. NABIC needs to
reach out to people of Bangladeshi heritage in all 50
states of the US as well as in the key cities and
provinces of Canada. To do all this in a cost effective
manner, NABIC would still need ample help from numerous
volunteers.
Some of the various areas of NABIC’s involvement where
volunteers would be highly prized may be listed as
follows:
1. Production of the newsletter
2. Maintenance of the e-discussion forum
3. Contributing news items to the newsletter and the
e-discussion forum
4. Web page maintenance
5. Hosting regional discovery/fund-raising meetings
6. Annual convention arrangement
7. Convention Souvenir preparation
8. Advertisement collection and formatting
9. Providing good up-to-date digital pictures for
updating NABIC’s Photo gallery
