President DOGANA 2026
Dear Dowites,
Happy New Year! As I step into the role of President of DOGANA, my heart is full of gratitude and humility. To be entrusted with leading this family of Dowites across North America is both an honor and a responsibility I do not take lightly.
DOGANA has always been more than an association. It is a circle of friendship, mentorship, and shared memories that connect us across miles and generations. I have been inspired by the dedication of those who came before me, and I know that whatever we achieve in the year ahead will be possible only because of the collective spirit we share.
My hope for 2026 is simple: that we continue to lift each other up, celebrate one another’s successes, and be there in times of need. I want to listen to your ideas, learn from your experiences, and ensure that every member feels included and valued. Together, we can keep building a community that reflects the best of who we are.
On this first day of the year, I send you my warmest wishes for health, joy, and fulfillment in all that you do. May DOGANA continue to be a source of pride and belonging for us all.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Naushad Noorani, MD
