President’s Note

A warm hello to my much-loved New England community!

I am honored and feel blessed to be the newly elected President of India Association of Greater Boston – IAGB.

As a life-long enthusiast, I strongly believe in inclusivity, sensibility, and camaraderie. I come with a track record of initiative, dependability, and excellence. I am outspoken, empathetic and a highly motivated, progress-focused person of long-standing.

My commitment to my role encompasses upholding IAGB’s interest as its advocate & culture champion! I pledge my commitment to upholding IAGB as a place where our fellow community members can enjoy superior quality socio-cultural, educational, and civic endeavors. I also commit to sincere community service and engagement with all regional Indian American organizations.

In my 18+ years of association with IAGB, I have seen it through thick and thin. In the current times, we are at a greatly evolving juncture within and beyond the community. I would like to see IAGB work together as a diverse community wherein we act responsibly, reliably, and efficiently; respect the community and beyond; embrace differences or conflict of opinions with empathy and understanding; hold each other with love while encouraging and soliciting open communication among and between each other.

A huge shout out to my team, each of whom are gems by virtue of their work within the community and their unique gifts of skills. I am honored and privileged to have them in my team and look forward to doing great things together!

A big ‘Shout Out’ to the outgoing President Vaishali Gade for her exceptional leadership in the previous term – I have big shoes to fill and exemplary work to carry forward!

‘Thank you’ to the wonderful community and beyond, for providing me this opportunity to serve my beloved community yet again, this time to my delight, as the President of my much-loved India Association of Greater Boston!

Let us each be a rainbow in someone’s cloud…

Much love and regards,
Tanu Phoenix
