KOA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
(2013)
Dr.
Surinder Kaul
President,
KOA
|
 Dr.
Surinder Kaul was born in Srinagar in a spiritual family ‘Sahibs’.
He came
to the United States in 2002 and completed his medical residency at
Cornell and Stonybrook University. Based in Katy, Texas, he is Faculty in Department of Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and
is serving in the capacity of Chief of Hospitalist Division. He is married and
his wife Sunita is a practicing Dentist and they are blessed
with a pretty daughter Shreya and an adorable son, Krish.
Several things
are important about him. First, what he is today is the result of family,
friends and community, of which the Kashmiri Pandit contribution is very
material and significant. It taught him in a very personal way the
principle of sharing and caring in the outreach interaction. Second, he believes that when one approaches the community it should be with the
spirit of bringing the highest values and value that one can. Third, the
world (if not Kashmir) was open and inclusive with him and he, in return,
is that, even with those where we may not see eye to eye. This is
reflected in the Global town hall meetings where he serves as a moderator.

Vice-President,
KOA
KOA
Zone 9 Director
Sanjay Dhar
came to the US for higher studies and eventually settled in
California.
He has been a
resident of Fremont, CA since 1997 and for most part was a passive
participant in KOA - coming to the functions, helping where he could
and enjoying some fun cricket with local enthusiasts.
After he and his wife (Anita) and were blessed with twins in 2005, he
looked at what KOA meant to him from a different perspective. He
wanted for his kids a strong, vibrant community where they could
connect with their Kashmiri roots and culture. The next step seemed
logical - get involved. If you wouldn't make the effort why would you
expect others to do so? He was an active volunteer to help organize
the KOA West Coast Camp in 2009, the next one in 2010 and currently
volunteered as the Zone 9 Director. He will continue to be involved
and participate in community activities irrespective of any official
KOA position.
