北大大纽约地区校友会举办2009年春节团拜会共商校友会发展规
2009年1月30日，北大大纽约地区校友会（PKUAAGNY ）执行委员会与部分领导人和志愿人员集聚一堂，共商北大大纽约地区校友会发展规划。
在2008年发展的基础上，北大大纽约地区校友会（PKUAAGNY）执行委员会计划将校友会发展推到新的高度，09年主要致力于三方面的发展：
首先，致力于校友会基础建设，特别是完善组织结构和领导层过渡机制，以促进校友会的长远发展。
其次，鼓励更多的校友参与校友会工作。可以让不同领域的校友在有限的时间和精力情况下发挥所长，贡献其所在领域的力量，例如让新加入的校友承担诸如活动摄影师或者职业规划导师等的工作。此安排将促进校友会工作的高效和节能。
此外，在进一步提高现有活动质量的基础上，开发新的校友会活动项目。目前，北大大纽约地区校友会的活动安排主要是一年一度五四庆典、夏季或者秋季郊游以及年底的北大校友聚会。
除以上校友会基本工作外，校友会还将根据不同领域校友的需求，组织特定活动。比如，2009年校友会将致力于北大华尔街校友的网络建设和职业发展引导。第一次华尔街校友聚会已于3月6日周五晚举行。
同时，为了庆祝北京大学建校111周年和五四运动90周年，校友会计划于2009年5月2日举办北大校友年会。本次年会主要是商讨当下最重要的社会和经济发展问题，展现北大校友在各行中的突出成就，并为新老校友在经济危机的特殊环境中如何更好应对挑战和规划职业道路提供帮助和信息。敬请关注本次活动的进一步通知。
参加本次校友会规划讨论的领导人员，主要有来自北京医科大学校友会负责人丁雷博士, 王融博士,史跃年博士和陈红君博士，以及北大美东校友会（PKUAAGNY的前身）前任会长梅振才和石新平。北大大纽约地区校友会执行委员会对他们给予的支持、帮助和贡献表示感谢。

PKUAAGNY Leaders Gathered to Plan for 2009 And Beyond
On Jan 30, Peking University Alumni Association of Great New York (PKUAAGNY) executive committee members and a few other key leaders and volunteers gathered to plan for an even better 2009 and beyond.
Building on the momentum in 2008, PKUAAGNY executive committee plans to push the organization to new heights in 2009 by making efforts in the following three directions:
1. Create the right infrastructure to build the foundation for long term success, specifically the right organizational structure and leadership transition mechanism.
2. Build the people foundation by creating ways for more alumni to get involved. In particular, the association will make it possible for alumni to take on defined scope of work (e.g. be an event photographer or a career mentor for junior alumni), which would demand less time and effort.
3. Further improve the quality and efficiency of existing programs and introduce new programs. PKUAAGNY has formalized a basic framework of three key public activities throughout the year: the Anniversary Celebration around May 4th, the Summer/Fall Outing, and the Year End Party.
In addition to this basic framework of activities, the association will also have other activities to address specific needs of our alumni. For instance, in 2009, PKUAAGNY will focus more on helping Wall Street alumni with networking and career development. The first Wall Street alumni networking happy hour was hold on Friday March 6.
To commemorate the 111th Anniversary of Peking University and the 90th Anniversary of the May 4th Movement, the Association has decided to host Conference 2009 on May 2, 2009. The objective of this conference is to discuss key social and economic development issues of the day, highlight the achievements of our alumni in various industries, and help alumni old and new better navigate a more challenging career development environment going forward. Stay tuned for more detailed announcement on this important initiative.
The January 30 gathering includes key leaders of Beijing Medical University alumni Association in New York, Dr. Lei Ding, Dr. Rong Wang, Dr. Eric Shi and Dr. Hongjun Chen as well as past presidents of Peking University Alumni Association of Eastern America (the predecessor of PKUAAGNY), Gene Mei and Scott Shi. The Executive Team of PKUAAGNY thanks their continued support, counsel and contribution.
