"COMMITMENT TO THE CAUSE!"

Join us tonight with Edwin “Ed” Narain to talk about the "Commitment To The Cause". Mr. Narain is a dedicated member of the Tampa Bay community who has served in several leadership roles more than twenty years. Ed moved to Tampa in 1994 to attend the University of South Florida. There he was elected President of the Student Body (1997-98) and was voted USF’s First Fall Homecoming King. While at South Florida, he partnered with the United Way to develop the first Student driven United Way campaign and received the Department of Student Affairs first Student Leadership Award. In 2015, he received the USF President’s African American Advisory Committee’s Ike Tribble Kente Alumni Award.

Edwin is married to Monica, a public school teacher and together they have two young daughters. He and his family have started the Narain Family scholarship that will provide scholarships to African American students at the University of South Florida as part of the Black Leadership Network. In his spare time he enjoys watching movies with his family, volunteering and mentoring young people. You can sometimes find him providing guest commentary on the Bay News 9's Common Ground program or Florida This Week.
