An Important Announcement

Dear Members of Gujarati Literary Academy of North America:

I am writing to you with a heart full of gratitude and appreciation as I complete my 25-year journey as the President of GLAOFNA. It has been an incredible honor and privilege to serve this organization, and I am deeply thankful for the support and cooperation of each and every one of you during my tenure.
 
Over the past quarter-century, GLAOFNA has grown and achieved remarkable milestones, thanks to the dedication and hard work of all our committee members during these years. Together, we have forged lasting relationships, organized impactful events, and contributed to the betterment of our Gujarati community.
 
We are making some organizational changes that will take effect on April 1, 2024. As I step down from the role of President, I am excited to introduce the new leadership team that will guide GLAOFNA into its next chapter. The organization is fortunate to have individuals who bring fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and a commitment to our shared mission of supporting our language “Gujarati”.
 
I am pleased to announce Ashish Desai who will be taking over as the new President of GLAOFNA for the upcoming term. Ashish is a seasoned and dedicated member of our community, and I have full confidence in his ability to lead the organization with wisdom and passion. Along with Gini Malaviya as VP of GLAOFNA in this new committee, I am sure they will take this organization to the next level.
 
I ask for your continued support and cooperation as Ashish Desai takes on this leadership role. I am confident that under their  guidance, GLAOFNA will continue to thrive and make a positive impact on the lives of our members and the community at large.
 
It has been an incredible journey, and I am grateful for the memories and experiences we have shared. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of serving as your President. Last but not least I would like to thank my wife Bhanu for all her support during all these years. But for her help, many of our activities would not have achieved the success they did. 
 
Now, I look forward to witnessing the continued success and growth of GLAOFNA under the new leadership. 
Wishing you all the very best.
