Dear Members of the Greater Carolina Kerala Association,

Namaskaram, GCKA Family!

It is a great honor and privilege to serve as your President for 2026–27, alongside a dedicated team united by a shared vision for our community.

Since 1987, GCKA has been more than an association. It has been a home away from home — a place where friendships flourish, traditions are celebrated, and generations stay connected to their roots.

This year, our guiding spirit is “Driven by Purpose, Powered by Community.” We believe our greatest strength lies in our people, and our purpose is to build a more inclusive, connected, and vibrant community where every voice matters and every generation belongs.

Our focus is on preserving our heritage, empowering our youth, supporting one another, and creating meaningful opportunities to connect, contribute, and grow. We aspire to lead with openness, transparency, and a genuine spirit of service. From cultural celebrations and sports to Malayalam Kalari, youth initiatives, and community service, every activity is an opportunity to strengthen the bonds that bring us together.

To our members, volunteers, sponsors, and well-wishers — thank you for being the heart of GCKA. Your passion, generosity, and participation make everything we do possible.

Let us honor our roots, embrace new possibilities, and build a stronger GCKA — together.

Driven by Purpose, Powered by Community.

Manaz Kuriyodath

President, Greater Carolina Kerala Association (GCKA) - 2026–2027
