Dear Sheikh,

Very sorry for how you feel demeaned by your colleagues in your chapter.
But you use this situation to help solve the exclusion problem. You and the
rest of the chapter leadership need to sit down and discuss this issue. If
this was done on purpose to exclude both President and Vice President then
it smell  very bad! Are there issues btn the organizers and heads ISOC
Chapter Bangalore? What does your constitution says about the situation at
hand?

My advice is that, I don’t it is correct to resign from the chapter simply
because you were not invited to an event organized by organizers outside
your chapter! I know you are angry and upset but you need to calm down have
a meeting and resolve this with colleagues within the chapter. Beside you
were not elected to serve the InSIG organizers but ISOC Chapter Bangalore!
So own your position and lead pleased. Problems are for human

Nazar
