Social co-chair: Shally Garach
Email: shally@netip-dallas.org

As a “number cruncher,” it’s surprising that Shally is as socially dynamic as she is. She currently works for Ernst & Young, has her CPA, and is greatly involved in the diversity efforts within the firm. She graduated from University of Kansas with a Masters in Accounting and Information Systems after which she moved to Dallas in 2005 and has never once thought of clicking those ruby red heels to take her back to Kansas. Her two major obsessions worth knowing are chai and shopping!!! As Social Chair, she and her partner in crime, Rita, plan to introduce new and exciting events and expand the NetIP Dallas Chapter to an even larger professional Indian audience.
