and
Media Dealers Association (CMDA) is conducting its 19^th
consecutive elections on June 18, 2011. “This time, we want
new members to join the association. This is actually why we conduct
elections every year. Our main role as an association is to raise our
voice against anything which is going wrong in the IT industry,”
mentioned Shashikant Satbhai, president, CMDA.

In totality,
there will be 13 positions available during the election process,
comprising the president, VP, joint secretary, public relations
officer and a cashier forming the office bearers. The remaining
positions would consist of 8 executive council members.

At present,
the Pune association has 295 members up its sleeve and this figure is
likely to go up after the election process is completed. “This year
our major focus will be on the technical seminars, as we have to
increase its number. In the past, we have received a good response from
members for the technical and management seminars organized for
them. Currently, we are looking at appointing 12 committee members,
and they will help in electing office bearers during the first
internal meeting. I have been with CMDA for the past 7 years and it
has been a great learning experience for me. Holding the post of
president for the past 1 year was not an easy task but I managed to
sail through the hurdles. I also feel proud that we managed to fight
the
octroi issue with the help of my members and their cooperation,”
added Satbhai.

While
sharing
his views, Satbhai said that the eligibility required for the post of
president is at least an experience of 2 years in the committee. “We
conduct 22 projects in a year which require a lot of mental strength
and concentration along with hard work. Thus we make sure that we
choose the right candidate for the post of the president. We also
conduct trainings for members every 3 months, free of cost. The
biggest job is to handle the expo in a very diligent manner and make
it a successful affair,”
said Satbhai.
