Dear Friends,

Thank you all for joining us on our 39th annual AGM, a celebration of both change and continuity. It’s a matter of pride for ART 40 as we enter into Ruby year i.e 40 years of ART 40. 

It is my greatest delight for your trust and faith you bestowed in me as the incoming Chairman of Ahmedabad Round Table 40. I’m honored by this appointment & I hope I am able to demonstrate adequate leadership to do justice to the confidence you have in me.

With all the opportunities and challenges that come with my acceptance to serve us all, I am of the belief that this journey will not be a smooth one if I am to walk it alone, however, we thank our past leaders for drafting constitution that recognizes the importance of the Vice chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, & convenors as it is through this synergism that we are going to make sure that our motto 'Service Through Fellowship' is going to be achieved.

Incoming Chairman’s Speech

Let me take this opportunity to acknowledge the tremendous and adorable initiatives that were undertaken by the previous crop of leaders. 

I must congratulate Tr. Abhishek Goyal for his service as Chairman over the last 12 months. It’s been a pleasure to support Abhishek with his planned activities round the year.  Abhishek’s incredible passion for tabling has set high benchmarks.

Indeed you are an inspiration, a challenge and an avenue for us to continue doing these great works that you began, To live up to such standards would be first challenge that I shall encounter. I am certain though, that with this team that we have, we shall even do much better because I have faith in this team.

My main aim for this year is to have fun and to seek out opportunities for service - to increase recognition of our table both in the RTI community and in the community at large.

As the incoming Chairman, I would like to take vows on 2 important aspects, Commitment and Self-improvement.

 Commitment:

The first commitment I make here is to be on time; to fulfill my role as a floor member by attending club meetings regularly and by committing myself to the cause. Self improvement:

the desire for self-improvement is a quality which is very important in both personal & professional life. Table helps you in grooming and lets us all take benefit of it. As Chairman, I will celebrate this joy of commitment & self improvement.  So I shall ask: “Will each of you please join with me in this celebration”?  Will you?
