The HSIMA Alumni Association successfully held its bimonthly meeting on September 24, 2006. It was hosted by Birhane W/Michael and w/o Elsa Tewolde. Some of the important issues discussed were:
1. Lt./Dr. Girma Moges the secretary of the HSIMA Alumni Association in Ethiopia who recently came to the US was present at the meeting to brief the members on behalf of the executive committee. The briefing was mainly focused on:
- The process that took place to form the alumni association
- How it is being run now
- Its successes and set backs and its future trends
- How to improve the current relations of the associations back home and here in USA
- Why it took too long to draft the “history book” of the academy
- Contents of the draft and its readiness for publishing
- Financial constraints for printing the book

Finally, questions were raised and discussed frankly concerning the above
and other issues.
