Welcome to the Indo-American Press Club (IAPC) Board of Directors. As the premier and largest professional organization representing journalists, broadcasters, and media professionals of Indian origin across the United States and Canada, we are proud to introduce our leadership team for the 2026 term.
Our board brings together a dynamic alliance of veteran print and broadcast journalists, corporate technology executives, literary figures, and accomplished academic scientists. Together, this diverse leadership team is dedicated to an ambitious year ahead—focused on strengthening community-centered journalism, elevating medical and science reporting, and building powerful, cross-continental digital networks to better serve the global Indian diaspora.
Indo American Press Club (IAPC) is the fast-growing syndicate of print, visual, online, and electronic media journalists and other media-related professionals of Indian origin working in the United States, Canada, and Europe. IAPC is committed to enhancing the working conditions of our journalists, exchanging ideas, and offering educational and training opportunities to our members, aspiring young journalists, and media professionals around the globe; and also by honoring media people for their excellence, and for bringing positive changes through their dedicated service among the community. Today IAPC envisages its vision through collective efforts and advocacy activities through its 15 Chapters across the US and Canada, in the larger public sphere.
