Presidents' Wall of Fame
Nishad Himatlal Gudkha 2002-2004 What is most memorable from your time as President? The buzz at the AGM when we can reflect and celebrate on the phenomenal achievements.
What legacy do you feel you and your committee have left YJ? Demonstrated that a team that shares the same passion and effort, and has a real vision can achieve what is considered the impossible and set new standards. The team(s) achieved 70+ unique events each year in different parts of the UK! The team ensured that there was something for everyone (all ages, genders, knowledge and backgrounds), and this was demonstrated by attendance levels and level of support from volunteers.
Deepa Mahendra Shah 2004 - 2005 What is most memorable from your time as President? That's a tricky one as there were so many. One which does stand out was during the Raas Garba of that year where I was asked to do a speech at the interval, and it was very well received, the atmosphere was vibrant and exceptional! In amongst the buzz I felt immense peace within.
What legacy do you feel you and your committee have left YJ? Being on a committee is a fulfilling yet challenging task, yet every moment is worthwhile. Knowing that whatever little a contribution, it is making an impact to someone somewhere. What is touching is when people remain with a deep passion of duty within and make the organisation what it is and should remain - one of love and understanding, growth and excelling!
Sawan Dinesh Shah 2005-2006 What is most memorable from your time as President? That's a tough one. I think the bonds that were created with the whole team and the supporters. The feelings will always be with me.
What legacy do you feel you and your committee have left YJ? The knowledge that anyone can achieve anything they want to go for. The '05 committee were all new to being on an EC and, although the road was tough, we really pulled each other through.
Prakash Saradkumar Shah 2007-2008 What is most memorable from your time as President? My most memorable time in this year's presidency is the Diwali show where we are able to host a multi-faith Diwali event with the Hindu and Sikh communities.
What legacy do you feel you and your committee have left YJ? We have revived the Friday night socials by introducing a great team called Small Pebbles. This team initiated a series of fun game show events where people were able to meet up and have fun but also learn and share some of the Jain drama.
You? Could this be you? Become a part of YJ history and join the committee. AGM this year is to be held on 20th April.
