Erode, July 28: The new tem of Confed-ITA has assumed charge and has bigger plans. Balasubramanian (Balu), president of the association explains his plans for the association.
Balasubramanian also added that he is already on his work, completed meeting eight associations in various occasions.
On the action plans:
I am planning to focus mainly on streamlining the forum. “I do not want to pin-point anyone in particular. However, I am not satisfied with the financial system and the way it was handled till now. No one is ready to take responsibility when it comes to finance of the association. I had sent the files for audit for the last three tenures and will be getting the complete details by the end of the August”, says Balu who further expressed concern over some financial collapse in some of the previous terms. “Please write bold letters, HP and Dell owe the association, their sponsorship amount pending for more than a year. A past president is asking me to ignore the previous payment pending as I am wondering why people are not taking responsibilities. And Bloom computers had gifted the association, a laptop and we are in talks with Tally to gift the association, an ERP system which will help the treasurers carry the accounts wherever they go and every transaction becomes transparent and update.
Vendor meeting:
Speaking about the vendor meeting, he said that the association is planning to host all the leading vendors for a meet where the members will tell their day to day and long-term concerns with the respective vendors. The association claims unlike the previous event, where vendors were alleged listening to all their concerns and ended up telling routine, ‘We will get back to you on this” which they seems to never come back. “We have requested the major concerns of the partners state-wise, vendor-wise across the associations and their queries will be forwarded to the respective vendors. The vendors while attending the meeting are expected to come prepared with the answers.” Balu said. The Coimbatore IT association will be hosting the event.
Internal relationship:
Questioned why he is stubborn on having former president’s take in the functioning of the association,
Finally concluding on the relationship within the office bearers, he said that the office bearers are in good terms with him or within themselves and said there might be some misinterpretation of his openness as ego and concluded he will streamline the association while handing it over to the next president.
