Dear Members,

It is my great pleasure and honor to serve as the Governor of the American Tamil Medical Association - Greater Washington Chapter in 2009 and 2010.

I joined the association 6 years ago because of the enthusiasm and dedication of the founding leaders in Maryland. I admire the tireless effort and time that has been spent in this organization by the past and present leaders of ATMA to improve the quality, membership and the number of charitable contributions not only to specific needs in Tamil Nadu but also world wide. This has deeply inspired me and drawn my interest in this leadership to achieve the goals of ATMA by providing periodic health camps for the uninsured, Continuing Medical Education programs for health care professionals and meetings to enrich our cultural and social values, in the Greater Washington area.

I urge the members of our chapter to support our organization by recruiting new members, volunteering your time, expertise and supplies for health camps and donating money to help the sick and needy during fund raising events. Your attendance and active participation in every event will be greatly appreciated to make this year a great success.

Thank you all for giving me the opportunity to serve this great charitable organization.

Sincerely,
Jeyanthi Sirithara
Governor, GW Chapter
