Vatsal Shah June 3, 2022 No Comments
We would like to inform you that the current Gujarati Samaj of Chicago President, Dhitu Bhagwakar, is resigning due to his lack of time being utilized with family, business, Village of Schaumburg, and other associations. Dhitu Bhagwakar’s took his role seriously but also eased stress within the Board by making it a fun and optimistic environment. Although he will be stepping down from his position, he will still be active on our Executive Board and will be attending future events to support our community. He would like everyone to know he feels extremely blessed to have had the opportunity to serve our community as President and looks forward to still being an asset to the organization.
The GSC Board and Council are happy to announce their decision of electing Bhavesh Shah as our new President as of May 1st, 2022, till December 31st, 2022.
Vatsal Shah will take charge as the General Secretary.
Bhavita Sheth is selected as a Joint General Secretary.
