My Dear Friend, Allow me to express my gratitude for your invaluable support. You provided me the opportunity and distinct privilege to serve our Indian Physician Community through AAPI at several levels for more than a decade.

American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin has reached an important milestone. We are celebrating the silver jubilee anniversary. It is time to reflect on the direction in which to lead our organization.

• In addition to cutting unproductive overhead, will endeavor to make AAPI journal and website into informative and revenue generating facilities.

• I promise to make AAPI-Charitable Foundation financially stable to serve the needy in INDIA and the USA. • I promise to promote membership drive and create conditions to attract the return of member organizations to AAPI. • I promise to bring Responsibility, Accountability and Objectivity to our organization.

My past experience in organized medicine and community service has prepared me to take the responsibility to lead AAPI. I humbly request your support in bringing new ideas, and leadership to our unique organization and take it to newer heights.

Enabled me to associate with several local legislators and activists resulting in great experience to manage legislative activities.

Active campaigning resulted in the passage of a comprehensive Tort reform bill, in Georgia, limiting exorbitant medical malpractice awards.
