WHY BE A MEMBER?
Kerala Association of Ohio has been in existence since 2000.
Undoubtedly, an Association can become successful only if it can ensure a steady membership with a sense of purpose and direction. We have come together without consideration of caste, community and religion.
Through our activities we have maintained our traditional ties and has deepened our cultural and social customs. One of the major contributions of the Association has been to create awareness in those who are unfamiliar with the richness of language, literature, art, music, dance and culture of Kerala.
We must move many steps ahead. For this we need more members. Our existence and success depend on our getting new members. We appeal to anyone interested in the culture of Kerala & its people. We encourage all Malayalees to enroll themselves as members of the Association and integrate into the building of a movement to preserve Kerala cultural identity in its totality. Membership fees are very reasonable and provide free access to all KAOH programs.

The previous committee had nominated Regional Vice Presidents (RVP) to help improve better coordination between members and serve the local needs faster. We will continue to use the RVP’s who will act as a bridge between the EC and the members in their respective regions. The RVP’s will also be instrumental in encouraging participation of members to the various programs of KAOH, identify new members and help them enroll into the association.
