Bureau Chief or Main Contact



On Wednesday, December 22, 2004 at 19:31 (7:31 PM) Philippines, in the Municipality of Tagudin website Guestbook, the following entry was posted:

Fellow Tagudinians:



This is an open invitation for volunteers to serve as linkages or coordinators per country/state so that our website will have linkages anywhere around the globe. Coordinators will serve as contact persons per country/state.

Please send your name, address and e-mail to this website if you are interested. Thank you and may your spirit of volunteerism and return to you a thousandfold! Let us join hands and let Tagudin soar to greater heights and success!

I believe the purpose behind this request is worth pondering over. For one, it is a good thing that the Municipality of Tagudin recognizes the presence of many Tagudinian Associations abroad. And for another, the Municipality of Tagudin recognizes that such Tagudinian Associations abroad are formed, first and foremost, as member support groups. It is also a means by which members can stay current on pertinent news from the homeland, if not from the town of Tagudin proper and its Barangay environs. Ultimately it keeps us Tagudinians in touch with other Tagudinians who are away from home.

That being established, wouldn't it be proper if, like in the Newspaper community we have what we call a "Bureau Chief," or "Main Contact" for the various Tagudinian Associations. This person or persons would have an almost direct line of communications to the Tagudin Municipality operations and would be able to broker important pieces of information back and forth.

Let me give you an example: If there were such Bureau Chiefs or Main Contacts, the plans for the upcoming town fiesta could be announced and disseminated "officially" to all the Tagudinian Associations with one uniform announcement. By the same token, Tagudinians planning to go home to attend the town fiesta could be accommodated by the Bureau Chief or Main Contact informing the town fiesta committee to expect them as guests. It gives the fiesta committee an opportunity to show Tagudinians living abroad that they are still very much a part of the town and are appreciated. The possibilities and benefits are endless.

I can see how the Presidents and Vice Presidents of the various Tagudinian Associations or their Secretaries could easily fit into this role. So go ahead, send the Mayor's Office an email note identifying who your Bureau Chief is or who your Main Contact persons are. Are these the groups that are currently active? In alphabetical order... help me here... somebody....

Thank you.
