NABC
objectives : To address all the issues that
concern Bengali in North America and West Bengal, India.
Main forum Music, dance, arts, artifacts, seminars on
educational/scientific/medical/Business and next generation.
The
CAB held the first North-American Bengali conference
in 1980. Since then the annual conferences have been
held in different cities every year.
The
NABC has created a unique place for itself in all Bengali
minds and has been recognized as perhaps the most successful
cultural endeavor of the last three decades, enchantingly
reflecting the rich Bengali tradition in art & culture.
Embodying the dynamism of the first generation Bengalis
in the USA and their fervent vision for the future,
the NABC is also a testament to successful organizational
management, community service, and financial health.
In pure commercial terms, the brand value of the NABC
at present is undeniable - it has reached an enviable
height.
Although
the primary focus of the NABC so far has been on the
cultural aspect of the Bengali experience, ideas are
being floated on the need to broaden the focus to include
educational and economic and other areas of community
interest and concern. There are queries as to
whether the CAB can be turned into a sustainable organization
to advance a broader cause, become a force in the cultural,
educational and socio-economic development of the communities
in US and India. There is a belief that the NABC
platform can be leveraged to initiate a movement of
worthy missions consistent with the vision and the mission
of the CAB.
Next
conference NABC2010 will be held in Atlantic City Convention Center, New Jersey, USA from July 9 - 11, 2010. |
