What is IAA?

The Indian American Association was founded on the premise of promoting ethnic solidarity through its various programs, events, and community service activities in the autumn of 1992. The members of this organization actively participate in preserving and sharing Indian culture and heritage. The organization in its efforts to increase Indian Awareness and cultural understanding has grown to encompass over 400 members. As individuals from various denominations of both India and America, we each bring unique customs, traditions, and values from our respective backgrounds to form a distinct collage known as the Indian American Association. Through this organization, we hope to form a mutual respect for and foster the common bond we share as first and second generation Indian-Americans.
