This is The Time…

Dear Readers,

 

We are just a couple of weeks away from the community’s most critical event that will define its course for the next five years. The long-due BPP elections will finally take place on May 29th, 2022, all thanks to the efforts fronted by Trustees Noshir Dadrawala and Kersi Randeria, who fought the good fight, to successfully arrest the deteriorating situation arising out of a skewed Board and its negative fallout on the community. But more than that, they fought the good fight so that we were not denied our fundamental right to vote.

This is the time for us to give back as Parsis who pride ourselves in it. This is the time to let our gratitude weigh heavier than our entitlement. This is the time to put on our thinking caps and make informed decisions as regards who is truly deserving of our vote, and more importantly, of our trust, to lead the way for the next five years.

Hear what the candidates have to say, but also measure their words against their deeds – look up their track-records of service, ask pointed questions, call them out on unfulfilled promises. This is the time. Do your bit to elect the Right Trustees so we don’t end up stuck with a Wrong Board again!

– Anahita
