IVCF Holds Annual Corporation Meeting
The impending bad weather, flooding, and heavy traffic in areas in Metro Manila did not hinder IV graduates and students from coming together for the IVCF Annual Corporation Meeting held on August 22, 2009 at the Faith Baptist Church in Quezon City.
With the theme “Pakikiisa Sa Ngalan Nya”, Mrs. Leonora “Nor” Gonzales, SVCF alumnus, delivered the message from Ephesians 4 with the clear call for unity under Christ who remains to be ‘the one rallying figure’ of IVCF. (To read more of the message, please click here.)
A quorum was declared with 133 present, 45 absent with proxy, and 27 absent without proxy with Mr. Edwin Erni, BOT Vice-Chair, presiding over the business meeting in behalf of the incumbent chair, Dr. George Capaque. Annual Reports were presented by the National Director Mr. Erickson Velardo for the Student Ministry, Miss. Rita Paren, NCF staff, for the Nurses Christian Fellowship, and Atty. Jordan Reyes, IVPM Chair, for the Graduates Ministry. Ms. Menchie Aragon, BOT Secretary, also presented the result of the Student BOT survey conducted last year in response to the recommendation of having a student representative in the BOT- 138 (93%) of the 149 respondents were in favour of having a student representative in the Board.
Lively open forum soon followed and the election of new BOT members. Each garnering 2/3 of the vote (to qualify for a seat in the BOT), the newly elected BOT members are: Engr. Noel Querijero, Pastor Ferdinand Juni, and Mr. Dionisio Ang. Plaques of appreciation were given to outgoing BOT Chair Dr. George Capaque and BOT member Atty. Jordan Reyes.
“Walang saysay ang pakikiisa kung ito ay hindi nauuwi sa pagbibigay.” Mr. Josil Gonzales, BOT member, rallied the IVCF constituency with his thoughtful challenge to continue supporting IVCF by giving to the movement.

With bowed heads and hopeful hearts, the IVCF Annual Corporation Meeting culminated with prayer and thanksgiving for the all that God has done and brought into completion last school year even as everyone stood in solidarity, committing to God once again, the vision and plans He has placed in our hearts for the new school year 2009-2010.
