The CBS Historic General Meeting and Election of Pioneering Officers

Posted on 05 March 2009 by Michael Sinjin Pineda

Last February 21, 2009 the members of the Cebu Bloggers’ Society assembled and deliberated a lot of important matters concerning the group’s organization and growth. The meeting was held at the Enovlink Training Center, 3rd Level of the Angelica Building located at Pres. Osmeña Boulevard in Cebu City.

The meeting was deemed to be historic as it was the first time the group actually met in a function room, and not in a coffee shop where most of the time, random chit-chats defeat the purpose of the meeting.

The “Historic General Assembly” started at approximately 4:00 PM, and among the matters discussed were the following:

- Membership process
- Election of officers
- Distribution of duties as members
- Paving the way to becoming a non-profit organization
- Constitution and By-Laws

At the end of the day, although a lot of matters still needed to be ironed out, something significant was achieved, and now, the direction of CBS has become clearer and more defined. The very successful and productive meeting was just the beginning of more things to come and greater heights to reach for the group.
