Any time you make a new post or click on the "manage my subscriptions" from an email, you are logged into this website insecurely, by using your email and full name only.

This easy and insecure way of logging in is available to let users post easily, without setting a password and also to allow a user to easily manage subscriptions from email newsletters without requiring a complicated password setup process.

Email/name combinations for many people are easy to guess, however, such as John Doe and john.doe@xyzcompany.com.

We therefore  restrict what can be done with this insecure authentication.

To login securely you will need to relogin using a secret password in addition to your email address.  This password can only be discovered by using the main email address we have on file with your user account.

Instructions login securely and to set or reset your password can be found here.

I spent this morning working with Jenny on formulating the goal and deliverables for the weekend.  It's incredibly interesting to work on figuring out how to adapt our currently completely virtual organization at yaamny.net into a sustainable volunteer organization that is capable of its own programs.

Here's the agenda we're working on.

Add your club's link here

AYA information on how to communicate ...

Get lists of alumni in your area...

Often, the first couple of months of a new year prove to be a time of reflection and plan making. Many among us have likely made - and may already be re-evaluating - some resolutions for the months ahead.

I invite you to keep Yale and the Association of Yale Alumni (AYA) in your thoughts in 2008 and as you make your plans.

Consider taking a few moments to:

Update your contact information to ensure that you receive your copy of the ELIne newsletter from the Office of Public Affairs and other AYA/University communications.

Use the Online Alumni Directory to search for former Yale classmates and renew old Yale friendships.

Create/update your Yale Career Network profile and find peers to discuss professional challenges, investigate new career paths, or serve as a resource for current Yale students or other alumni.

Participate in Lifelong Learning:

• Retrieve your AYA Login Credentials
• Open Yale courses: Free access to Yale undergraduate courses at your finger tips! Open Yale courses provide online access to a collection of  seven complete undergraduate courses. Watch high-quality video lectures and review syllabi, suggested reading lists, and problem sets.
• Yale Netcasts/Podcasts: Take them with you -- interviews, speeches, and discussions given by Yale faculty, administrators, and welcomed guests. Download and listen to our library of more than 250 Netcasts in MP3 via common RSS aggregators at Yale's Netcast home or through iTunesU

Welcome to the collaborative online intranet, extranet and document archive.

We designed this website so Yale Club leaders and their members could collaborate on common goals. 

For this reason, we made the majority of the website accessible to everyone.  We hope that members and leaders will take the additional step of posting what they believe will be useful information to other members and leaders. 

Keeping in mind that some information (e.g. vendor pricing, leader contact information) may be personal or proprietary in nature, we decided to include the ability for pre-approved posters (generally Club Leaders) to post information that only other pre-approved Club Leaders may view.  Please contact XX to request pre-approved status.  Thank you for helping us build a website to help us all.

The New York City Science and Engineering Fair for NYC High School students is, for the first year, sponsored by the City University of New York under the auspices of the CUNY College Now Program (which I work for).

The Science Fair is looking for judges in fourteen areas, including social and behavioral sciences. Judges can be practicing scientists, doctoral students or other professionals in their fields in the New York City area (unfortunately the program cannot provide accommodations or funding for people coming from outside the area).

It's an excellent volunteer opportunity and a chance to meet talented students from throughout New York City and become involved in fostering and promoting science education.

You can find more information on qualifications for judges as well as the fair in general on the website:
http://collegenow.cuny.edu/sciencefair/

I can answer some questions as well, or at least direct you to someone who definitely can.

Thanks so much!

Organizing a Club

Leadership and Governance

The key to sustaining your group is ensuring more than one person has ownership of the group.

Extending ownership involves reaching out to other collaborators and also documenting policies for the organization and management of the group. 

The combination of Leadership (time and effort expeded by individuals) and Governance (documents and policies to guide Leadership efforts) is the essential life force of an organization.  If assembled correctly this combination will give your organization a life of its own.

Organizing a Social

Putting together a Host Committee

If you want a lot of people to come it helps to have lots of people inviting people to  your event. 

There are two key elements to this:

• get a diverse group to act as hosts
• make sure everyone hosting has ownership over the event

Getting a Diverse Host Committee

It is ideal to collect hosts that are spread among the demographics of your constituency.  If you share Hosting duties with only your best friends, then you are less likely to reach into areas of your constituency where you may not already have as strong relationships.

You may also want to consider

• defining a mission for your event
• the diversity of your host committee (age, vocation, socioeconomic)

Reaching Out

Reaching out to collaborators almost always takes personal contanct and rapor.   ...
