• Standing Committees: Focused on specific areas such as Events, Membership, Fundraising, Scholarship, Communications, and Mentorship

Our governance is guided by the Association Constitution, which outlines the organizational structure, election procedures, financial management, and operational policies. The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held each year where the Executive Committee presents activity and financial reports to the general membership.

All paid members have voting rights in elections and on major decisions presented at the AGM. The current Executive Committee composition can be viewed on our Leadership page.

The MPSC Alumni Association is an independent organization that works in close partnership with Mohammadpur Preparatory School & College. While we operate autonomously with our own governance structure and finances, we maintain a collaborative relationship with the school administration.

Key aspects of this relationship include:

• The MPSC Principal serves as an ex-officio member of our Advisory Board
• We coordinate with school administration for campus access, events, and student engagement
• The association contributes to campus improvement projects and scholarship programs
• We collaborate on initiatives that benefit current students, such as career fairs and mentorship
• MPSC provides limited administrative support and meeting facilities

This partnership ensures that the association's activities align with the school's mission while maintaining the independence needed to effectively represent alumni interests.

We encourage alumni to share their accomplishments, milestones, and news with the community. You can do this through several channels:
