In December 21th, the seniors of IAAS select the steering committee to organize the XV IAAS’s National Congress to be held on February 2nd of 2010. This selection involves more than 70 participants. In this selection, the seniors give questions about our preparation and interest in the committee. The questions can be about the definition of National Congress and what activities may be conducted there. They want to assure our mental preparation, or our endurance to hold all consequences of the duty assigned. They also ask whether we go to which section when we successfully get into the committee, and they also inquire our experience related to our favorite section. Our seniors seem friendly in giving these questions. We feel not at all strained. We get fun in this selection process.
The announcement day comes up with the 29 new members of new steering committee to organize the XV IAAS’s National Congress. The strict selection produces the following qualified names:
BAYU ARDIYANSYA; RURIN RANT P; SRI HANDAYANI; RAFIKA SAQINAH PUTRI; ENDRA ARIF WICAKSONO; NANDA PUTRA; RIMA AZARA; ADMIRAL ERNES; MUCHLIS SETIAWAN; ARBY SEPTIN N; AFIF WILDAN; DEWI RAHAYU N; RIO RIZKHY F; M ASARY; FATIFA ASMARANI; PRADIPTA SANGGA W; YOGA ANDARA D; HIDAYATI KARAMINA; PURWAHADI KUSUMA; NUNGKI KUSUMA A; DWI AGASTYA P; MOCH. ZAQIYUL F; ANGGA NOFRIAN P; ARIFUDIN; AGUNG WIDYANTO F; INDANUS FARIED N; CINTHA ESTETIKA PUTRI; AND ARMANTO DWI CAHYO.
The selection of NatCon Steering Committee seems followed by the assembly of each Section. I belong to PDD Section. This day, we have assembly in our beloved base camp. In this assembly, we elaborate our progress. I give my ID Card design to the chief, Kharis. He likes it and I feel so excited about it. Next, we talk about the appropriate publication strategy. Aan, the CO of PPD, and Cahyo, Dipta and Angga, as the item keeper, give some idea about publication strategy. It involves the publication during Jumat Pray and the use of close friends. It seems so creative to me. Do not think about the serious assembly! We always throw a joke. By the way, can you imagine that we should find “a location love” in this Section. Aan (someone who being gossiped) has a cross to F***A, also the member of PDD. He show a manner of shame when we remark him with this gossip, but finally he admits it. We burn into cheers. We do hoping to Aan for his love to be accepted.
Time goes on. We reach the day of The XV IAAS’s National Congress. Early morning at 6 am , the steering committee prepares in the PPI Building
At 7 am , the delegations of IPB, Unpad, Undip, UNS and Unhalu, arrive. They fill into the delegation registration list and take the meal for breakfast. Not long, the seminar participants arrive in through. Only few show up in the beginning, but later, they become abundant causing us with the overwhelmed task. Fortunately, the other members help us in selling the ticket.
The event seems evolving with many participants. The source persons bring up the material to the participant, and they have very interesting open-ended session. In the end of event, the door prize should be given to the participant with courage to step forward to answer the question. Some participants change their T-shirt with the stylist shirt just to get door prize from the IAAS. It will be the emotional touched struggle.
The event ends at 14 pm. All participants leave the room with the certificate. The steering committee should be ready to clean to room and prepare to go to BLK Singosari. The delegations also prepare to get along with the committee.
The first joint assembly has been conducted after having section assemblies very often. In this assembly, we discuss the already conducted early preparation. Each event coordinator presents the progress. Sponsorship Section informs which product/company with the willingness to fund the NatCon event. Consumption Section explains the food/beverage served during the NatCon. PDD Section provides the information about ticket and publication, and some media used to publish the XV NatCon, such as banner, A4, and leaflet.
In the startup day of ticket selling from ticket box standing, we only get very few buyers. PDD Section works hard to look for new publication strategy to acknowledge the people onto the NatCon. After thinking for a while, we get into a smart strategy, precisely by inserting our leaflet to the announcement board in the each faculty and onto the students‘vehicles. Our strategy finds a success! We get enough buyers from several faculties. They seem curious with the actor who inserts the mysterious invitation on their vehicles.
The next day leads us to think about the additional participants. Again, we search for a new strategy. The new innovation, once more, jumps out from our brain. We decide to plot the leaflet onto the Facebook and the Tag, and send it excessively to any friends. In the beginning, we only ask them to comment about our leaflet, but without their consciousness, we deliver it as the promotion media.
We experience a funny story during the distribution of leaflet to the people around the campus. We actually see the group of high school students walking into our campus, accompanied with their teachers. We take an initiative to spread our leaflet to them. Aan, Cahyo and Dipta have been ready for it by holding some leaflets. When these high school students arrive, they distribute the leaflet actively. For a moment, these high school students stand with sense of surprise and also confused. We feel curious to know why, but only find the reason that these high school students come from Surabaya and visit to Malang Malang
After conducting ticket sale for more than a week, the joint assembly has been organized again with all sections on January 31 of 2010. We highlight the general preparation for the XV National Congress (NatCon). The preparation includes the ticket sale, consumption, the accommodation of delegation, and the plan of touring to BLK Singosari.
