Did you know a group of Ɔdadeɛs are celebrating Mrs Akyeampong by naming a society in her honor? It is spearheaded by prominent members of the class of 1998--Edwin Amonoo (SPé) chairs the society with Emmanuel Akrong our class along with a wider membership drawn from all classes. Here is the customary website www.odadeeprofs.com. Let's quote from the nino's own mouth in 5 paragraphs:
The purpose of the Society of Odadee Professionals is to celebrate the culture of academic excellence among current and past students of Presec Legon;
Mobilize the diverse pool of Presecan and non-Presec talents around the world to support Odadee, non-Odadees and current students;
Present achievement scholarships to selected students in Presec and elsewhere. We currently are instituting an academic scholarship in honor of Mrs. C.S. Akyeampong. Recipients of this scholarship will have combined strong academic performance with the development of the arts;
Raise money and sponsor projects that will contribute to the development of Presec;
Promote the development of the Arts in Presec.

For those who just join this group,on behalf of other members of the group, I welcome you. I would like to bring you to speed on what has transpired so far about this society since its formation in November of 2008. To begin with let me reiterate the mission of this society:
The Ɔdadeɛ Society of Professionals (OSP) also known as C.S. Akyeampong Academic Society is a non profit organization that is exempt from the US federal income tax under section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue code with the purpose of celebrating the culture of academic excellence among current and past students of Presec Legon. The objective of our establishment is to mobilize the diverse pool of Presecan and non-Presec talents around the world to support Odadee, non-Odadees and current students and to further the professional aspirations of its members.
The society is registered in California , in the United States and with the federal government through the IRS.
The society is suppose not to dominated by any single individual's ambitions or aspiration, hence the society is voluntarily run by you and everyone.
So far, we have had one meeting, which was our inaugural meeting.
We have a work-in-progress website : http://odadeeprofs.org/aboutus.php.
We have also open a Bank account with Wellsfargo and Paypal.
We have a LinkedIn account. LinkedIn is a business-oriented social networking site mainly used for professional networking.
I sent invite to you all to LinkedIn. Been part of our LinkedIn set up will enable you to establish contact details of people and trust in doing business with them. Some of the opportunities available to members as a result of their link to our LinkedIn account will go a long way to further their professional aspirations. Some ideas and opportunities will not be discuss on face book but rather LinkedIn.
Please enjoy your fellowship with the society and help it to become like the Rotary or Lion club.
I'm a member of several professional organizations as well as several different business related groups. I think involvement in professional organizations is one of the most valuable career tools available to everyone, no matter where you are at your career.
Presecans in my opinion have a weak network, and now is the opportunity to turn things around. I am prepared to help other Presecans advance their aspirations. As I start to sit on some interview panel, I will be more incline to help other Presecans. I know that other Presecans here in the US, UK and Ghana are in managerial position like me who can help other Presecans, but the issue is that we don't have a strong networks to help each other. But, by far, the biggest benefit I've received, and continue to receive, is the people I've met and the friends I've made. I encourage everyone to join, and become active, in Ɔdadeɛ Society of Professionals (OSP). Get involved, learn, meet new friends, and reap the benefits.
