2014 YJA Convention
Young Jains: Today's Learners, Tomorrow's Leaders
On behalf of JAINA, I welcome you to the 2014 YJA Convention in Washington D.C.
The theme of this year's convention is Young Jains: Today's Learners, Tomorrow's Leaders. This theme perfectly exemplifies the importance of having an active youth base. It is your responsibility as young Jains to preserve our Jain roots and build upon what has already
been established for future generations.

I want to recognize and congratulate the YJA Board for doing a great job putting together a weekend full of networking, spiritual awareness, education, and fun. I have personally seen
the concept of a YJA convention grow from an idea at the Stanford JAINA Convention in 1991 to now a sold-out event with tremendous speakers and great participation from our youth. For the future, my only hope would be to scale the size of the convention so that more Jains from the US and around the world can experience such a fulfilling, life-changing
weekend.
