February 17, 2005

Arun Gandhi Speaking to a packed ballroom at the New York City Hilton Hotel, Arun Gandhi shared a few of the many lessons learned from his legendary grandfather, Mohandas K. “Mahatma ” Gandhi. Appearing before the New York Society of Association Executives, one of the largest associations of its kind in the world, Gandhi spoke to nearly 600 professionals from a wide variety of industries and cities: Doctors from Boston, hoteliers from California, and event planners from London to just name a few. However, at the end of his remarks, that diverse crowd stood in unison to honor him with a standing ovation. At a luncheon following his speech, Gandhi was honored for the second time as he was presented the Inspiration of Excellence award by NYSAE president Joel Dolci. He was selected as this year’s recipient in recognition of his tireless work to promote peace and nonviolence throughout the world.
