Staff Reporter: Federation of Bangladeshi Associations in North America (FOBANA), the largest Bangladeshi community network across the United States and Canada, has conferred its prestigious Outstanding Service Award on Attorney Mohamed Alamgir. With more than 80 member organizations and over 60,000 members, this honor is reserved for individuals whose service has left a lasting imprint on the community.
Attorney Alamgir’s record of leadership and compassion set him apart. He was a driving force behind the historic Houston Accord, which brought long-divided groups into unity and renewed FOBANA’s mission. As a senior advisor, he has been a voice of wisdom, urging cooperation among organizations and inspiring them to act in times of greatest need. Under his steady guidance, FOBANA has mobilized relief for natural disasters, extended support during the COVID-19 crisis, and provided aid to struggling families both in North America and Bangladesh.
Beyond crisis response, he has championed education for young people, creating scholarships and opportunities that have changed countless futures. As Chairman, he led his host committee to achieve the highest fundraising results in FOBANA’s history. He also strengthened ties between the Bangladeshi and U.S. governments, ensuring Bangladesh’s official presence at FOBANA conventions and elevating the organization’s profile on the world stage.
What makes this recognition especially meaningful is the affection and respect Mohamed Alamgir commands. He is not only admired for his accomplishments but dearly loved by colleagues, community leaders, and families who see in him a rare combination of humility and strength. His legacy is one of unity, service, and visionary impact, a legacy that continues to inspire all who know him.
