The current SoS program consists of four components: Life and Leadership Program, Speaker Series, the Circle of Influence, and our newest program SoS Connect.
Life and Leadership Program (LLP)
LLP is geared toward young adults and consists of a select group of 10 individuals hand-picked by the SoS board to attend 10-12 sessions over a period of 6 months. The curriculum covers topics such as learning to negotiate, finding a job at any point in your life, and defining love, success, happiness and leverage. “The atmosphere is so charged” says Dr. Swapan Dubey, “I find myself anxiously waiting for the next session so my routine mindset can be challenged and I can learn something new.”
Speaker Series
The SoS Member Speaker Series provides an avenue for accomplished members/seniors in our society to share their secrets of success with SoS class students as well as SoS members who want to learn from other’s experiences. Speakers from varied backgrounds and areas of accomplishment are invited to speak at lunch and everyone is encouraged to ask questions with an effort to learn from the speaker’s experience. Successful entrepreneurs like Marc Ostrofsky and Amit Bhandari, Houston City Council member Felix Fraga, Shawn Wharton, CIO, BP NAGP, and Dr. Johnella Bradford, Dean of HCC Southeast, are a few examples of the caliber of speakers that the SOS program delivers. What’s even more exciting is that they are open to being mentors for SoS students depending on the applicability of the speakers experience to the individual’s needs.
Circle of Influence
SoS’ Circle of Influence (COI), the newest member of the SoS family caters to individuals who are past the student stage, but still need the support of the community to further their goals in life. COI hosts events throughout the year that are intended to support the businesses or jobs of the COI members. COI Chairman Vivek Mehta, Sr. Vice President at Bank of Texas is always striving to deliver quality events that support effective results-oriented networking for the COI and its guests. Last quarter’s event held at the River Oaks Country Club was a resounding success, and due to member demands he will be planning another one in 1st Quarter 2013.
SoS Connect
SoS proudly announced the launch of its newest program SOS Connect at the SoS Holiday Party hosted by Mr. Biki and Dr. Prita Mohindra on December 8th, 2012.

SoS Connect
SoS proudly announced the launch of its newest program SOS Connect at the SoS Holiday Party hosted by Mr. Biki and Dr. Prita Mohindra on December 8th, 2012.
The program has been designed for history, philosophy and religion lovers and lifelong learners who are always trying to understand the past, present and future and how it impacts who we are today, how we interact with others and why we are who we are. “Learning about the social origins of mankind is instrumental in understanding why people react in certain ways and how we can deal with them effectively, said Mr. Mohindra, co-founder of SoS. Due to popular demand, SoS Connect’ s first session has been scheduled for early January and is open to all. Sessions will be held over lunch on the first Saturday of every month.
