      Dear colleagues,<br>
      <br>
      with the new financial year FY19 having started on please be so
      kind to find the information below about the Community Regional
      Outreach Program (CROP).<br>
      <br>
      At present, we need to do two things:<br>
      <br>
      1. appoint or re-appoint CROP programme committee representatives<br>
      2. draft our Outreach Strategic Plan<br>
      <div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
        May I suggest that we appoint two new representatives on this
        committee? We need to do this as soon as possible. As this is an
        administrative function, may I suggest that we send out a call
        for candidates and have the EURALO Board make the selection? I
        would recommend that at least one of the two people should be
        Wale Bakare or me, as this function is closely related to EURALO
        strategy.<br>
        <br>
        As for drafting out an Outreach Strategic Plan, may I suggest
        that this be undertaken by the EURALO ALS Engagement Task Force?
        Work needs to start immediately.<br>
        <br>
        Kindest regards<br>
