OoBI Guiding Principles Our vision and mission are aligned towards helping all BITSians in a positive manner We will entertain all authentic requests for help (financial and non-financial) from any BITSian in any part of the world/universe Every OoBI request will be dealt with by a specific SWAT team • CXOs + Coordinator OoBI (member of Ops team) will be permanent members of SWAT team • 2-3 BITSAA leaders and relevant chapter leaders may be included in the SWAT team on case-by-case basis • Coordinator OoBI will announce and notify the SWAT team Any fund raising initiatives and/or projects with direct interface to BITS Pilani administration arising out of OoBI will require full board approval We need to secure commitment of regular updates from the direct beneficiary or their representative for OoBI
OoBI Launch Process Within 48 hrs of receiving the request Verification and sponsorship enable authenticity of the initiative Involvement of OoBI Coordinator or a designated active BITSAA member acts as a forcing function to build out and strengthen the community SWAT team concept enable rapid response and delivers a message of professionalism combined with empathy for the cause Any positive ROI from the OoBI will be an additional advantage OoBI request Can come from any BITSian via any medium – web, email, phone, personal contact ….
