HumasUPNVJ - In order to serve and prosper its members, UPN Veterans Jakarta Cooperative management holds an Annual Member Meeting (RAT) which is a routine activity every year. The RAT was held today (27/1) at the UPNVJ Bhinneka Tunggal Ika Auditorium, which was attended by approximately 200 face-to-face active members of the cooperative.

This year's RAT presents Prof. Erna as the Trustee of the UPNVJ Cooperative. Prof. Erna in her speech said that the UPNVJ Cooperative must be managed professionally so that it can operate according to its principles, "As we know, a Cooperative is an organization/business entity that has the principles of kinship and mutual cooperation, which means that the success of the cooperative will be seen from the sense of kinship and we gotong royong together under one roof (agency), namely UPNVJ. The cooperative belongs to all of us, not to the chairman/deputy or anything else. Even though cooperatives use the principles of kinship and mutual cooperation, they must still be managed professionally and transparently. With the shift of UPNVJ from private to state and from satker to BLU, cooperatives must be separated from agencies. With a transition like this, it will mean that the cooperative is no longer the responsibility of UPNVJ, but can be independent, with that independence, the cooperative will be able to become one of UPNVJ's partners, so the cooperative can develop the business that UPNVJ has. Therefore, UPNVJ will develop even better," explained Prof. Erna

Deputy Chancellor for General Affairs and Finance, Prasetyo Hadi was also present. He confirmed Prof.'s words. Erna, as time goes by, the UPNVJ Cooperative must be managed professionally, “After changing its status to BLU, the UPNVJ Cooperative must separate itself. Just like Prof. Erna said that cooperatives must be managed properly again professionally, as UPNVJ partners. We are focusing on all UPNVJ cooperative management for the 2023-2026 period.

I hope that the UPNVJ cooperative can continue to reflect on other educational institutions that are much more advanced so that our management will also be better and develop," he added.

Lilik as the Head of the UPNVJ Cooperative also presented the annual report of the last three years.

The RAT took place lively with discussions and distribution of door prizes.
