Chairman's Message
Dr. Amarnath Gowda
ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ಕನ್ನಡಬಾಂಧವರೇ,
ಡೆಟ್ರಾಯ್ಟ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದ ಪ್ರಥಮ "ಅಕ್ಕ ವಿಶ್ವ ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಮ್ಮೇಳನ"ವು, ಅನಂತರ ನಿರಂತರವಾಗಿ, ಪ್ರತಿ ಎರಡು ವರ್ಷಕ್ಕೊಮ್ಮೆಯಂತೆ, ವಿಶ್ವವು ಅಚ್ಚರಿಗೊಳ್ಳುವಷ್ಟು ಅಮೇರಿಕಾದ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ನಗರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಯಶಸ್ವಿಯಾಗಿ ನಡೆದು ಬಂದಿದೆ. ಅಕ್ಕ ಸಮ್ಮೇಳನಕ್ಕೆ ಸ್ಥಳ ಹುಡುಕಾಟ, ನಡೆಸಲು ಹಣದ ಹೋರಾಟ, ಓಡಾಟ, ಅರ್ಜಿ, ಪ್ರಾಯೋಜಕತ್ವ, ನಿದ್ರೆ ಇಲ್ಲದ ಆ ದಿನಗಳು, ಅಮೇರಿಕಾ ಮತ್ತು ಭಾರತದ ನಡುವೆ ಓಡಾಟಗಳು ಇಂದು ಸಾರ್ಥಕ ಕೆಲಸವಾಗಿ ಎನಿಸಿವೆ, ಮತ್ತು ನಾನು ನೆಮ್ಮದಿಯ ನಿಟ್ಟುಸಿರು ಬಿಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
President's Message
Mr. Ravi Boregowda
ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ಬಂಧುಗಳೇ..,
ಎಲ್ಲೋ ಹುಟ್ಟಿ, ಎಲ್ಲೋ ಬೆಳೆದು ತದನಂತರ ಅಮೆರಿಕಾದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಕ್ಕಳ ಮಡಿಲಲ್ಲಿ ಸೇರಿದ ನಮ್ಮ ಮಂತ್ರ ಒಂದೇ. 'ನಾವು ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರು. ಕನ್ನಡ ಭಾಷೆ ಮತ್ತು ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಉಸಿರು' ಎಂಬುದು. ಪ್ರತೀ ಎರಡು ವರ್ಷಕ್ಕೊಮ್ಮೆ ಅಕ್ಕ ವಿಶ್ವ ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಮ್ಮೇಳನಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಸೇರುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ನಾವು, ಕರೋನದ ವತಿಯಿಂದ ಕಳೆದ ನಾಲ್ಕು ವರ್ಷಗಳಿಂದ ಅಕ್ಕ ಸಮ್ಮೇಳನವನ್ನು ಸೂಕ್ತವಾಗಿ ನಡೆಸಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಾಗುವ ಹಾಗೆ ವಾತಾವರಣವಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಇಂದು, ಮತ್ತೆ ಅಕ್ಕ ಸಮ್ಮೇಳನ ನಡೆಸೋಣ ಬನ್ನಿ ಎಂದು ಅಕ್ಕ ಕೈ ಬೀಸಿ ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಕರೆಯುತಿದ್ದಾಳೆ. ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ರಾರಾಜಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವ ಅಕ್ಕಳ ಕೀರ್ತಿಯ ಪತಾಕೆಯನ್ನು ಮತ್ತಷ್ಟು ಮೇಲಕ್ಕೇರಿಸುವುದೇ ನಮ್ಮ ಆಶಯ.
