Should it be a similar page like SEF team page. Can you give me a brief introduction how should it look? @Minuri_Adasuriya

@Gimhan_minion It would be similar to the team page but it would not have sub sections but a single section.

Yes @Minuri_Adasuriya, but we can get them from the v2.0 archive.  
@Gimhan_minion You can find it here: [https://github.com/sef-global/sef-site/releases/tag/2.0.0](https://github.com/sef-global/sef-site/releases/tag/2.0.0)

This is the draft page I’ve created for Alumni page. I just used a random image for the draft. We’ll come up with a good one later 🙃. @Minuri_Adasuriya @akshika47 Can you help me with the title, description, and the category heading(Ex:- Executive committee)? Please give me your suggestions. Thank you 🤗

@Gimhan_minion we don’t need sections for this as alumni it-self is one group. Maybe we can all these at the end of the team section as well(after design team) so we don’t have to have a separate page.

@akshika47 I’ve updated the list at [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kAiaqmoqADqcNp0e7HhmswgiF8lf9Qmb9dLrqbQrQk4/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kAiaqmoqADqcNp0e7HhmswgiF8lf9Qmb9dLrqbQrQk4/edit?usp=sharing) see under Alumni tab. Can you do a quick compare with this [https://cniangel.github.io/LiveWeb/team.html](https://cniangel.github.io/LiveWeb/team.html) and let me know if this is in order? Thanks!

> <https://github.com/sef-global/sef-site/pull/740>

Here’s the PR for the alumni section. I had some blockers while doing this.

1. One of the links mentioned in google sheet didn’t work & one is blank. So i just used a blank image for those. I marked the one which is not working in the sheet itself
2. Since the linkedin profiles was absent in the sheet I didn’t add it yet. If there are profile links I can add them as well.
3. I just used the exact hierarchy in the google sheet which i think should change.

Check out the preview via [this](https://pr-740-sef-site.surge.sh/team.html) link and let me know the changes.

Thank you!

Hi @akshika47 @Minuri_Adasuriya,  
I’ve finished updating the LinkedIn profiles I could find, in the google sheet itself. I couldn’t find profiles related to 5 people. Please check and let me know if it’s okay or not. Here’s the [link](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kAiaqmoqADqcNp0e7HhmswgiF8lf9Qmb9dLrqbQrQk4/edit#gid=818765749) to the sheet.  
Thank you!
