Our progress over the remaining one year is directly related to your presence and participation. It is critical that you attend – JAINA and Jains need your guidance!

Last year, we all had a BLAST with thorough discussions of the current state of affairs, "water cooler" conversations, and late night chats.    We want to a create a balance of bonding together as a "collective", coming together as a "community - One UNIFIED BODY", and discussing the future of JAINA while empowering each other in a renewed commitment to service.
