Annual Event 2019 - Be an Agent of Change

ICA celebrated its 51st year with its annual event at Villa Ragusa in Campbell with a successful conference and banquet. More than 200 people participated in the event.

Reshma Nigam, President of ICA welcomed the gathering and explained the theme of the event --"How to Be An Agent of Change". She encouraged the audience to participate in the conference and listen to the inspirational speakers and decide to “be the change you want to see in the world” either by starting or reenergizing your efforts. The engaging conference and inspiring speeches from the visiting luminaries made the evening memorable.

Women's Leadership Chair, Lata Patil, crafted the conference model to be participatory in the form of roundtable discussions. “Join the Conversation” was the objective of the conference and the goal was to engage the audience, increase their philanthropic aspirations, invite the audience to play an active part in shaping ICA's future objectives, and offer a channel to promote social development in India. The facilitators in each session encouraged the sharing of ideas by all participants in a friendly and productive manner. The topic of the discussion in each session was Education, Women's Empowerment, Environment, and Health.

The visiting guest of honor, Vinayak Lohani of Parivaar, Satyajit Bhatkal of Paani Foundation, and Dr. Anagha Amte of Lok Biradari Prakalp participated in the Conversation.


ICA for the first time in history sponsored its first local charity, Spartan Food Pantry of San Jose State University to alleviate student hunger. San Jose State University representative Marco spoke on behalf of SJSU and received the donation from ICA President, Reshma Nigam.
