“We welcome Ranjan Goswami to the CHLA Board,” says Board
Co-chair Lynda Boone Fetter. “Not only is he a proven leader in his
industry who has worked for years to strengthen the relationship
between our hospital and Delta Air Lines, he has a distinguished
track record of humanitarian service to the Los Angeles
community.”
“Ranjan Goswami has succeeded in establishing and building ties
between organizations with likeminded interests,” says Board
Co-chair Arnold “Arnie” Kleiner. “We believe his leadership and
dedication to helping the youth in our community are a great fit
for our Board and emblematic of our mission to create hope and
build healthier futures for children.”
Goswami currently oversees Delta’s commercial strategy in LA in
addition to managing key account growth across the West Coast. He
also is deeply involved in the Los Angeles community, serving on
the boards of directors for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los
Angeles, Junior Achievement of Southern California, and the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce. Goswami received his Master of Arts
and Bachelor of Arts degrees in political science from Yale
University and currently lives in Marina Del Rey.
“It is part of Delta’s core values to serve the communities
where we live and work, and we have a strong commitment to LA’s
nonprofit and community organizations,” says Goswami. “I am
grateful to my fellow board members for entrusting me with this
important responsibility, and I look forward to working alongside
them and the dedicated CHLA staff to advance the hospital’s mission
to provide the highest-quality care to infants, children and young
adults.”
The work of Goswami and many others has allowed Children’s
Hospital Los Angeles and Delta Air Lines to sustain their
longstanding relationship. Delta previously has sponsored CHLA’s
Noche de Niños Gala, and for the past five years Delta has worked
with CHLA and other community partners to host the annual “Holiday
in the Hangar” event, where volunteers dress like elves, sing
carols, and treat patients and their families to an afternoon
excursion to the “North Pole” (a holiday-spruced-up Delta hangar at
LAX).
CHLA is a nonprofit pediatric hospital under the leadership of a
volunteer Board of Trustees. Consisting of community leaders and
physicians, the Board makes decisions that direct quality care,
secure the financial health of the hospital, build positive
community relationships, and ensure top-caliber executive
management performance and fundraising to fulfill the hospital’s
mission.
Goswami’s three-year term as a trustee lasts through 2019.
