has come a long way creating experiences, impacting lives and forging
bonds. When I look back at the journey of growth, the journey of ups
and downs, the exciting and happy times. It makes me nostalgic and
invokes in me emotions and feelings, Its bring the memories of the
very day I believed in the concept of an adventure club, the journey
thereafter and all the initial support received from friends and
family.
Its just not enough to have an Idea but important to motivate and
influence significant others to join and support the idea and execute
it . Leadership is all about influencing people and making them
leaders, thereby leaders creating leaders. This is what we do at GHAC
on a constant basis.
I would like to remember and thank all those family and friends who
believed in the idea and stood by me in the initial days. I would also
like to thank all the following members of the first ever GHAC
Executive Committee formed in September 2009 consisting of Dr. A.V.S
Prasad , Ali Razvi, Rajan Patel, Padmaja, Javed, Shishir, Ranga,
Manisha, and Vibha. I have also been supported by members of the
first organizing committee consisting of Arun Raj, Deepam Morporia,
Jayanta Mondal, Sreenath and significant others in the journey. All
their support and suggestion made the foundation for a strong growth
of GHAC.

My Sincere thanks to the Current Volunteers who are driving the club
with much enthusiasm and commitment. The list is too long to list
here. Check out all our leaders at
http://meetup.ghac.in/members/?op=leaders and there are many more in
training who will join the list soon.
My Thanks to all the GHAC members for the committed participation and
trust in GHAC. It's because of your participation that we grow day by
day. We are doing more to get you more adventure events and to make
sure the waiting lists come down.
GHAC is all about changing lives, Making a difference to many and
getting people out of their comfort zones. Furthermore let us look to
the future about what GHAC can be and how we all together drive it to
the next level. It's the strength of knowing our past that will help
us succeed in future as well.
Every Team member at GHAC is a Leader with a strong purpose, passion
and commitment towards the mission and vision of GHAC. Good Team Work
and a Team Leadership Model where everyone is equal is our strength.
Whenever required some leaders take charge and are wholeheartedly
supported by the rest and its this very leadership model that has
brought us here and will also take us to the next levels.
As the largest and most active adventure club we also have to make
sure we cater to all levels and not end up being a club of a select
few. Hence it's important to have activities at all levels and
motivate people to take up more challenges and grow along with the
rest.
As we grow together there will be need of more volunteers along with
full time resources in future and it's high time that some of you can
seriously look towards getting trained and certified and take up
adventure as a full time career with GHAC.
Our Vision remains to Reach out to a 1,00,000 participants in the next
few years.
