President's Message
Dear Members,
With the onset of the Indian summer, marked by soaring temperatures and increased energy and water consumption, it becomes essential to adopt sustainable living practices. Simple steps like using fans over air conditioners when possible, ensuring proper insulation, and switching to energy-efficient appliances can reduce electricity usage. Conserving water by fixing leaks, using buckets instead of showers, and reusing greywater for gardening helps combat water scarcity. Wearing light cotton clothes, consuming seasonal foods, and reducing plastic use further support an eco-friendly lifestyle. Embracing these practices not only lowers environmental impact but also promotes healthier, cost-effective living during the intense summer months.
Further, I would like to stress that maintaining a healthy work-life balance is essential for overall well-being and long-term productivity. It helps reduce stress, prevents burnout, and allows individuals to stay physically and mentally healthy. A balanced lifestyle enables people to spend quality time with family and pursue personal interests, which enhances job satisfaction and motivation. Organizations also benefit from a balanced workforce through improved morale, reduced absenteeism, and higher efficiency. In today’s fast-paced world, consciously setting boundaries between work and personal life is crucial for sustained success and happiness.
As I have been advocating for long, enhancing membership is vital to an association’s effectiveness, influence, and sustainability. A strong and diverse membership base brings in fresh perspectives, wider expertise, and greater representation, enabling the association to better advocate for its goals and serve its community. Increased membership also boosts credibility and strengthens the association’s voice in policy and industry matters. To achieve this, it is essential that all members actively contribute by promoting the association’s value, engaging peers, and encouraging participation. Collective effort in membership growth ensures a vibrant, resilient, and impactful organization and I urge each one of you, to do your bit, in enhancing CEAI’s membership and outreach.
Further, with the induction of a full time events coordinator, we are seeing enhanced collaboration with other associations, in terms of providing logo support, setting up booths and obtaining discounted rates for our members at partner events. A large number of such conversations are ongoing and we shall be informing the members regarding the same through the secretariat as things get crystallized. We are also looking forward to the events committee coming up with robust and well spread calendar of events.
I wish you all a pleasant summer ahead and if planning a holiday with the family, do travel well, safe and in a sustainable manner.
Warm Regards,
Prashant Kapila
