The first meeting for planning the Kabataan Alliance Summer Leadership Summit was, not only fun, but also straight to the point and thorough. The first concern was trying to select the best times and locations for a summit that was taking place right before the school year started in a lot of schools within our chapter. The event will have multiple pieces needing to be organized in subgroups. Some examples of this include cultural elements (musical/dance performances, cultural lessons, arts and crafts, etc.), designated speakers, outreach coordinators, and logistics (food, masks, drinks, blankets, etc.). A lot of the organization was similar to that of planning the art builds for the Philippine Independence Day Parade. The priority at the moment was location, which is easier said than done if the intended audience consisted of students from different schools in different portions of NYC. What might be closer to Columbia might be a bit further away from a place like Hunter. Similarly, the time of the event impacts the location. So, the group scouted, ranked, and listed an array of parks or buildings that would be strong candidates. Additionally, we were assigned to different promotional teams for the sake of drawing engagement from different Filipino collegiate organizations within the chapter. My task surrounded drawing engagement from Liga Filipina: Columbia’s Filipino organization. With move-in dates arriving and first years coming, it served as a wonderful opportunity to, not just meet new prospective members of the organization, but pitch to them additional Filipino groups beyond the campus gates. With that in mind, we had selected Purple Dough, a Filipino bakery right in the heart of Little Manila, to promote local Filipino businesses as well as continuing with our desire of connecting collegiate organizations with Filipino groups beyond their campuses.
