Jojo Duttaroy 2026

Dear BAGC Family, 

Greetings!! 

As we step into 2026, I do so with immense gratitude, pride, and excitement. This year is especially meaningful as we celebrate 50 years of the Bengali Association of Greater Chicago - five decades of culture, connection, community, and continuity.

What began as a small group of visionaries has grown into a vibrant, multi-generational community that honors our heritage while embracing the future. BAGC has been a home away from home for so many of us - a place where language, music, literature, festivals, friendships, and shared values have flourished.

This milestone year is not just a celebration of our past, but a reaffirmation of who we are and where we are headed. In 2026, we invite every member of our community - founders, long-time supporters, new families, youth, and seniors alike - to participate, contribute, and help shape the next chapter of BAGC.

On behalf of the Executive Committee, I thank you for your trust, your involvement, and your continued belief in the mission of BAGC. Together, let us honor 50 remarkable years and move forward with renewed energy, inclusivity, and purpose.

Here’s to celebrating our legacy - and building an even stronger future - together.

With warm regards,

Jojo Duttaroy

President, BAGC, 2026
