TO: Aurora City Council
FROM: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
DATE: June 10, 2014
SUBJECT:
A Resolution Appointing members to the newly established Indian American Community Outreach Advisory Board.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this memo is to recommend the appointments of ten members to the newly established Indian American Community Outreach Advisory Board.
DISCUSSION:
The Indian American Community Outreach Advisory Board (IACOAB) was established in December, 2013. The board was created in response to requests from members of the Indian American community looking to become more involved with the City of Aurora.
The IACOAB was modeled after the City of Aurora's two other cultural/heritage boards, the Aurora Hispanic Heritage Advisory Board and the African American Heritage Advisory Board. Similar to the other two boards, the IACOAB will provide opportunities to engage members of the Indian American Community (in and outside of Aurora) with the city, in addition to promoting civic engagement at the local level and enhanced communication with the business community.
Staff recently met with and interviewed interested applicants, with the goal of appointing an initial group to establish initial board priorities. Additional appointments to fill out the eighteen member board will be put forth later this year. Below are the candidates for IACOAB:
Krishna Bansal
Prasad Garkhedkar
Sanjeev Panday
Roopa Anajanappa
Anupama Setty
Gautam Bhatia
Deepak Mehta
Shabbir Shikora
Shailaja McSwiggen
Himanshu Trivedi
RECOMMENDATION:
Attached are applications, biographies and/or resumes for each of the proposed candidates for your review, I would appreciate your favorable consideration of these recommendations. If you should have any questions, please contact Alex Voigt in my office.
