non-member non-profit
"tax-exempt" (501C applied for) organization with
three Trustees, viz. Moshiur Rehman, Irshad Salim and Feroz Chowdhury. Today, there are five Trustees including the President of the alumni association. Bylaws were unanimously adopted defining the scope and operation of the charity organization. JEXCA Alumni North America is a separate social and volunteer organization based on open membership of the JEXCAites living in the United States. A yearly reunion is held in which Jexcaites meet. The objective of JEXCA NA Inc. is to provide educational, social, welfare and volunteer based services to the needy in Bangladesh, including the"JEXCAites" -alumni of Jhenidah Cadet College (JCC) who are permanently based in the United States and Canada. Both the organizations are independent of each other as per the articles of association and the bylaws. The elected President of the alumni is one of the five Trustees of the JEXCA NA Inc. Four are permanent Trustees. |
JEXCA NA Inc. also participates in humanitarian and educational based activities in
Bangladesh by raising funds from JEXCAites and others in USA and delivering them either
directly or through the Dhaka-based alumni organization of Jhenidah Cadet
College (JCC) called "JEXCA". In Bangladesh, cadet colleges are premier residential based institutions run by the Ministry of Defense offering schooling from grade VII to grade XII. JCC is one of them. The students are addressed as "Cadets". Some of them join the Bangladesh Army while others pursue higher studies. The Adjutant General of Bangladesh Army is the ex-officio Chairman of the governing body of Jhenidah Cadet College. The institution is located in Jhenidah, close to the southern border town of Jessore. It was established in 1964. The first batch of cadets graduated in 1970 and JEXCA, its alumni association was formed in Dhaka in 1973 with less than a hundred members. There are currently more than 1,500 registered members from all over the world. The actual number of JEXCAites may be more though. |
