About GAMA

The vision and commitment of a few dedicated families rooted down the Greater Atlanta Malayalee Association in Atlanta.GAMA was formed in 1981 when Mr. George Koovakkada took the initiative to contact a dozen or so Malayalee families in the Atlanta area and organized a meeting. From the first meeting in 1981, GAMA has grown to a large organization.

After the structure was formed, during the 1981 Christmas function, Dr. K. C Ninan was nominated as the first president of GAMA. Under the capable leadership of People like Dr. K.C. Ninan, Mr. Anthony (Babu) Thaliath, Mr. K. C. George, Mr. Sethu Palattu, Mr. George Mathew, Mr.Roy Varghese, Mr.Saju Samuel, Mr. Shaji Fernandez, Mr. Araham Augusthy, Mrs. Sheela Johnson, Mr. George Koovakada, Mr. Sabastian (Sunny) Thaliath, Mr. Reji Cherian, Mr. Shaji Elakatt, Mr. Jewel Jose and Mr. Thomas Chacko GAMA gained strength and momentum. GAMA is honerd to have a president like Mr.Anthony Thaliyath in 2000. While on his presidency Mr.Thaliath accompanied American President Clinton on his India visit. Over the years, GAMA grew continuously through the contributions of time and talent from individuals who served as office bearers and committee members. GAMA has grown to be a very vibrant and powerful Malayalee Organization to the next level under the young, engetic, talented and professional leadership of Mr.Biju Thuruthumalil, Manoj Thomas, Anu Sukumar and Thomas K Eapen.
