Proposed Organizational Structure Of Bangladesh-American Center (BAC)

"Revision 1.0" !!!!! "Revision 2.0"

Bangladesh Center - in the eyes of a dreamer

We are witnessing history being made in Houston in front of our eyes while a piece of land is being purchased to build our dream - Bangladesh Center. The cost of the land is around $140,000.00 and we only raised $70,000.00. Some people have raised concern saying how we will raise the balance of $70,000.00. Some even went a step ahead saying if raising $70,000.00 exhausts us, how will we ever build the "building" that may cost us nearly $250,000.00 or more.

And that is exactly the word I would like to draw your attention to - "the building". Let us ask us, is Bangladesh Center just a building and a set of social services based on a building? Or is it a venue, a showcase of our cultural and social activities, a venue through which we show our pride, our culture, our Bangladesh.

Even though some options were discussed that can be implemented before "a building" can be erected, no serious business plan was published or no proposal was made available to the ad-hoc committee.

I will attempt to shift your focus from "the building" to "something else". This something else could be the beginning of a new era in our community development. It's appeal is perpetual and will continuously grow as years pass by. Our very own Moni Bhai taught us how to think the center as a process. That word, process sparked the idea that I am about to propose.
