prestigious body of professionals belonging to Memon Community. Today the
Forum’s membership comprises over six hundred professionals, most of whom
occupy eminent position in their respective fields in Pakistan and abroad as

professional and economical upliftment of its members, in particular, and
Memon Community, in general. It also makes efforts for preserving and
achieving due recognition of the rights and status of its members in every
walk of life. To
execute its plans andpoliciesin a professional manner, a Managing Committee
(MC) is elected bionnually by the members of the Forum.
As per the constitution of the Forum, the Managing Committee normally
consists of 24 professionals from various disciplines. The MC members are
further grouped to form various sub committees such as CPE (Continuing
Professional Education) committees for Medical, Legal & Constitution,
Architecture & Engineering and AAccounting & Allied Management.
Besides the formation of CPEs, there are several other sub committees
including, Social Activity & Program Committee, Ladies Wing, Public
Relation Committee and Diary Project Committee. An exclusive committee is
also formed with the name of International Area Committee with the objective
of transforming this Forum into an “International Memon Professional
Forum” to unite the Memons of the world at one platform. The objectie is
being achieved by widening the circle of Forum’s membership from local
network to global network.
In
order to get benefit from the experiences of the Former Presidents of the
Forum and other eminent Professionals of the Community, a permanent
Strategic Advisory Board (SAB) has been formed. The SAB is responsible to
review strategic plans, bye-laws, financial plans and monitor the overall
performance of the Forum.

professional education but have limited financial resources. In order to
grant loans to the deserving students for their professional education and
