As we all know and as I have always reiterate that every graduate of FEDPOFFA are Alumnus but not all graduates are members of the Alumni Association. This means we have huge membership potential but very sizeable active members as of now. Yes, we may say our status is not bad as of now, giving the fact that we are just starting. Our rough estimation is that we have over 70,000 potential members across the globe and we are working assiduously to get as many onboard in good time. Our first target is to get onboard 10,000 members in the next 5 months.
Presently, our active members across all chapters are about 500 and only approximately about 50 paid dues so far. This mean, we have a along way to go.
The strength and beauty of any alumni association is in her membership strength, thus we cannot but to remain focused on our membership growth and we need everyone onboard as soon as possible.
