Our Silos... We Need to Connect - Communicate - Collaborate:
North American Jains have over 100 Jain organizations and over
30 Jain temples. We 
have been focused on our local organizations
and have done a great job in giving all Jains a sense of belonging to a community and promoting Jain values. However, we also have been living in silos for too long. The Jains population has increased substantially and now we need a better way of connecting, communicating and collaborating. This is the reason why JainLink was initiated.
To remain united and strong and share our collective resources, it is critical for the North American Jain community to Connect– Communicate –Collaborate
Your individual and center participation is important and crucial to make this initiative a success.

JainLink is an initiative by JAINA and many Jain centers to offers on-line membership, contact search, newsletter, website, surveys, quizzes, contests and connection Jains in North America. For example, a groups can be formed such as all Jain IT professionals, or physicians or motel owners or employees at Cisco or Jains with origin from Surat and these members can securely connect to each other. Such a community portal will bring together our fragmented and mobile Jain community in North America and especially our youths. In addition, the new system will make task of maintaining memberships are your Jain Center much simpler.
Young people are mobile and less interested in local Jain centers. They prefer connecting through Facebook and MySpace. JainLink is just such a social networking and resource site which Jains of all ages can embrace.
JainLink is FREE to your Jain Center as well as to your members. Extensive security features are in place to avoid misuse of the list and the Jain centers and members will have full control on what they want to show and to whom. Also, any Jain family that moves to your area can easily change their on-line contact information and your local center contact database will be updated immediately. JainLink is easy-to-use, intuitive, secure, web-based application.
