Dear Members,

Sharif University of Technology Association (SUTA) seeks nominations for Board of Directors. We will elect, by voting from SUTA membership, seven directors to serve a two year term beginning January, 2013. The nominees and the voters should be a SUTA member in good standing at the time of elections (this means that their membership fees should have been paid). Associate members can not run as candidates for the elections.

SUTA welcomes all members, independent of their highest degree, college affiliation, year of graduation, gender, and geographic representation to run for these positions and to bring their skills, experience and perspectives into the new Board. While the nomination is open to all members, the depth and breadth of the nominee's volunteer experiences in general, and volunteer involvement with SUTA's local chapters would be a grand asset. We strive to balance Board membership along a number of dimensions to represent the general membership as widely as possible. Please note that this is truly a working board and not an honorary or advisory position.

Nomination deadline is set for December 25, 2012. To nominate yourself, please send a brief CV, a personal picture in JPEG format, and a letter indicating your volunteer activities and experience, as well as your academic and work background, current location, and aspirations for SUTA to suta.bod@gmail.com. Candidates will be announced on our website, www.suta.org as we receive the nominations. The voting period will be during December 26, 2012 through January 20th, 2013. Voting process is supervised by an independent advisory group, and results will be announced by the end of January, 2013.

Many thanks for your help in building a strong SUTA Board.

SUTA Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of SUTA has approved to maintain the annual membership fee structure that we had for the past several years in the USD currency, as follows:

associate member and student level: $20
non student member level: $50

However, as the exchange rate between the Iranian Rials and the USD has significantly changed since the time these rates have been adopted, the Board has approved the following new rates for the members living in Iran:

associate member and student level: 300,000 Rials
non student member level: 1,000,000 Rials

These new rates for members paying in Iranian Rials in Iran will be enforced as of December 10, 2012. Whoever who pays the fees prior to this date can still pay with the old rates.

A considerable pool of talent in the Iranian community living in Canada was the subject of discussions among generations of immigrants and students. The SUTA Chapter in Ottawa in cooperation with CSIEA planned a meeting to show the road to success to young talents.

A group of 34 young graduates and students who are potentially ready to start their business based on their innovative ideas were invited to listen to the speakers from government and private sector.

Mr. Peter Stewart was our first speaker who explained all the facilities available to innovators and entrepreneurs to start their business and how to apply for funding and other services.

Our next speaker was Dr. Alizadeh from Giatec Corporation. He  started his talk by telling his success story and also the challenges on their way to success. Dr. Alizadeh’s first start-up in partnership with long time friend and classmate Dr. Pouria Ghods is now a successful international company after several years of hard work and many challenges. They achieved this level of success two years after starting their business.

The meeting was very useful to young soles of the community to see they are not left behind and the possibility to flourish and grow is available, just need to know the rules of the game and also to work hard.

    

SUTA congratulates the Ottawa Chapter for this successful event.
