TTA Jacksonville Chapter Launch – A Celebration of Culture, Community & Unity

Jacksonville, FL — The Telangana American Telugu Association (TTA) proudly celebrates the successful launch of its Jacksonville Chapter, marked by a vibrant and culturally rich event that brought together community members, leaders, and supporters from across multiple cities.

The evening began with Priest Mukundhan Garu performing a traditional Ganesh Pooja, invoking blessings for a meaningful new beginning. This was followed by a beautiful Bharatanatyam performance and additional cultural showcases that highlighted the artistic heritage of our Telugu community.
All Jacksonville local leaders were recognized on stage for their commitment to building and uplifting the chapter. Speeches were then delivered by National President Naveen Reddy Mallipeddi, Development Director and Convention Convener Praveen Chintha, and TTA Tampa Board Member Raghu Alugubelli, who each emphasized unity, service, and continued collaboration.

We also thank and acknowledge the support of leaders who traveled to attend the launch:
* TTA Tampa RVPs: Kranthi Meka and Rajesh Reddy
* TTA Tampa Regional Coordinator: Prudhvi Alugubelli
* TTA Dallas RVP: Shekar Reddy

Their presence underscored the strong statewide and national support behind the new chapter. Special Appreciation to Jacksonville Organizing Team.

Special appreciation is extended to our Regional Vice Presidents — Praneeth Vuppala, Sreedhar Kande, Dhanu Mundrathi, and Sampreeth — for their vision, commitment, and leadership. We also recognize the invaluable contributions of our Regional Coordinators — Prem Prakash, Teja Katakam, Lahari Bachannagari, Avinash Gajula, and Nithin Bandari — whose dedication and teamwork played a pivotal role in the smooth execution of the event.
