I am very encouraged and appreciative of all your efforts to get our members in India Section Northern Region engaged in professional activities.  It was a pleasure to meet some of you during my visit to India in February this year.  I am very pleased to note that the students are very engaged as they are the future of the organization and the profession.  As noted in my response to your posting on LinkedIn regarding your Outstanding Faculty Advisor Award and Student Leadership Award, not surprised but very proud of the very deserving recognition.  Please keep up the enthusiasm, energy and engagement. Encourage our members to get engaged with students and help them make the transition to becoming active members of this great organization as it will not only open many doors but also offers opportunities to develop leadership skills needed to lead the profession.  I am very optimistic about the future, believe the best is yet to come; I am looking forward to many more recognitions for India Section NR.  Please convey my best wishes to all for a safe rest of 2020 and beyond.
