SEBS-NA stands for "Society of Ex-Budhanilkantha Students - North America." Formed in July 2000, a non-profit organization, we are the alumni and friends of Budhanilkantha School, Kathmandu, Nepal, located in different parts of North America. We are recognized by IRS, under section 201(c)(3) code, as a Tax Exempt organization. We are volunteer-based organization dedicated to: 1) providing assistance to our members in North America, 2) conducting social service programs in Nepal and North America, 3) helping Budhanilkantha School to meet its educational objectives and 4) being an organization dedicated to better coordination and leadership among various Nepal-related associations in North America. (See below for more details.)

The organization is governed by the elected Executive Committee (excomm), its advisors and by representatives of each graduating class. The excomm members meet on the last Saturday of every month through conference call or web meeting at Executive Meeting Room of www.sebsonline.org to constantly update the status of various programs and policy, and run the day-to-day business of the association. We also have Annual Reunion where our members from all across North America come together for networking, renewal of friendship and participate in the discussion about the organizations future goals and mission. In addition to passing important amendments to our constitution, various cultural, social and educational programs are also organized at the reunion.

Aim:

Our following Preamble from our Articles of Association summarizes our aim:

As a student we have a special relationship with our Alma Matter that represents a lifetime commitment in the fulfillment of our dreams and aspirations. We were the focus of her goals and objectives. As an alumnus, we will represent the result of her mission and the embodiment of her spirit in the world. What she is, we are; what she becomes, we become. Because we are the emerging essence of our institution, we will strive to enhance this special relationship between student, alumni and others so that the heritage of our Alma Mater will always be a part of our life - for the present as we follow our dreams and for the future as we strive to seek truth. It is through this friendship that we have derived from our school, we henceforth are striving for unity among fellow brothers and sisters of our Alma Matter Budhanilkantha School. We aim to foster and disseminate our proud heritage for the ultimate benefit of society and mankind.
