Meet Our Dedicated Team

Arefin Babul

President

Meet Arefin Babul

A trusted leader. A proud Bangladeshi. A dedicated servant of our community.

For Arefin Babul, service is not a position — it is a lifelong commitment. From his student leadership days in Bangladesh to decades of community work in the United States, he has always stood where people needed him most.

Since arriving in America in 1995, and making Atlanta home in 2000, Arefin has built not only a business — but relationships, trust, and unity across our Bangladeshi community.

As two-term General Secretary of the Bangladesh Association of Georgia (2003–2006), and Member Secretary of FOBANA 2006, Arefin played a key role in uniting families, strengthening cultural pride, and bringing national recognition to our Georgia community.

He has never stopped believing in one truth: When we serve each other, we rise together.

Why He Is Running

Today, our community in Georgia is bigger, stronger, and filled with potential. Arefin Babul is running for President to turn that potential into progress — with dignity, transparency, and unity.

His mission is simple yet powerful:

✓Establish a permanent Community Center — a home for our culture and our people
✓Create an Emergency Funeral Support Fund — so no family faces hardship alone
✓Launch Bangla & Cultural Schools — to protect our language and heritage
✓Build Programs for Our Seniors — honoring those who paved the way for us

These are not campaign promises — they are commitments rooted in love, history, and responsibility.

A Promise to You

If elected, Arefin Babul will lead with:

★Transparency and fairness
★Compassion and communication
★Respect for every voice
★Action, not words

"This election is not about one person — it is about our future as a community. Together, we can build institutions that honor our heritage, empower our youth, and support every Bangladeshi in Georgia."

Arefin Babul humbly asks for your support and prayers.

Let's unite. Let's build. Let's lead.
