The highlight of MLA General Assembly 2010 was the
election of Council members to a new term of office. The
election was carried out on a show of hands basis as
depicted in the MLA Constitution.
The General Assembly was held on 27 February 2010,
at the American Corner, National Library.
MLA General Assembly 2010 - New MLA Council elected
It was attended by 42 people representing 12 libraries and other
private bodies.
Elected MLA Council for Feb 2010 to Dec 2011 are as follows:
President Ms. Aishath Shabana
Advisor Ms. Habeeba Hussain Habeeb
Vice President Ms. Fathmath Shiham
Secretary Ms. Aminath Shiuna
Training Officer Ms. Athiyya Shakeel
Editor Ms. Aminath Riyaz
Public Relations Officer Ms. Guleyfa Mohamed
Treasurer Ms. Khadeeja Mohamed
Mr. Moobeen Jaleel from JCI
Maldives, delivered a presentation
on strategies that could be used for
managing mingling at meetings and
social events.
Do you get a bit nervous when
meeting new people, when in large
gatherings, or attending events with
strangers? With quite a few people,
the answer to these questions is a
“YES”. Some people may not agree
with it outright, but many agree that
they feel butterflies in their stomach
when faced with the prospect of
meeting new people.
The first MLA event for 2010 was a free
session for all participants on mingling
strategies. The purpose of the session
was to start MLA 2010 calendar with a
fun activity combined with a
development opportunity for its
members and non-members.
People’s fear of attending meetings
and social events were examined and
recommendations were made on
attitudes and strategies to derive
personal and professional benefits from
mingling.
Some strategies that were highlighted
were: importance of accepting event
invitations (as it gives the opportunity to
Network), preparing yourself for the
event, practicing self-introduction,
having some small talk topics ready,
adopting a positive attitude, keeping
eye contact, how to enter and exit from
conversations among a group,
importance of business cards at
business gatherings, and many more.
The importance of “mingling”, instead
of sticking with familiar faces(s) was
emphasized.
The session was positively received by
the participants. MLA hopes to provide
more professional and personal
development sessions throughout the
year. ■
