Pradeep Tandon
President (IALI) – 2024
Dear IALI Members,
I extend my heartfelt thanks to each one of you for placing your trust and confidence in choosing me as your President.
I am immensely thankful for the opportunity to serve you, and I assure you that my team and I will work tirelessly to uphold the values and aspirations of our community. Together, we can achieve great things, and I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead.
Your support and trust is not only a tremendous honor but also a deep responsibility that I am committed to upholding with dedication, integrity, and passion. I am truly humbled by the opportunity to lead our vibrant community and work towards the betterment of IALI.
I am eager and excited to collaborate with you all, leveraging our collective strengths to fulfill the vision we share for the organization. Together, I am confident that we can achieve great things and continue to enhance the positive impact of IALI on our community.
I am open to your ideas, feedback, and collaboration as we embark on this journey together. Your participation is invaluable, and I am grateful for the chance to serve as your President.
Attend and Participate in all IALI Programs, Forums
IALI members can choose to enroll, attend and participate in as many life-fulfilling activities, make friends and network in all programs offered by the India Association of Long Island. Among the forums are Women's, Men's, Seniors, Sangeet, Sports, Outreach, Professional, Spiritual, Meditation and Diversity.
To the existing Forums comprising Women's, Men's, Seniors, Sangeet, Sports, Outreach, Professional, Spiritual and Meditation, I would like to thank you all for your unconditional love and support during this election for electing me as a second term President.
It is my promise that I will try my best to uphold the IALI constitution and by-laws while maintaining the dignity and respect of the organization in the outer world.
This year is a very challenging year as I call it a “Tug of War.” I have faced many obstacles and hurdles, but I am sure that with your support and guidance I will overcome all of that.
To add to the existing Women's, Men's, Seniors, Sangeet, Sports, Outreach, Professional, Spiritual and Meditation forums, I have introduced a Diversity Forum or Multicultural Forum to bring the multi-cultures of India together, by
choosing representatives from different regions of India. Unfortunately, due to little or no support for this vision, this initiative has not yet moved off the
ground. I would also like to have a ``Housing Panel`` to explore the opportunity for a larger property to house the headquarters for IALI to meet the needs of our growing membership with space for the variety of programs for our future.
Last but not least, the addition of A Matrimonial Forum for our youngsters to choose their partners from Indian group will hopefully augur well for the future of our vast resources in our community.
A lot has been achieved and a lot is on the floor. I need all of your support in updating our database. Please help us in updating the emails, cell phone numbers of you and your loved ones. Every President takes the oath of office
thinking that she or he will complete this gigantic task, but it is still an unfinished job! If you have any questions and/or unresolved issues, please call or write to us. Please visit our website frequently for all the updates. We are working on modifying our website to make it user friendly. Together we stand, divided we fall.
