Harvard University honours Kandeban Balendran
View(s):In recognition of his unwavering dedication, service to the community, and remarkable contributions to the betterment of society, his country, and the region through intellectual and social growth, Kandeban Balendran has been awarded the Outstanding Volunteer Leadership Award—one of the highest honours presented by the Harvard Alumni Association (HAA) of Harvard University.
Each year, Harvard celebrates the extraordinary contributions of Alumni Clubs and Shared Interest Groups (SIGs) and their dedicated volunteer leaders through annual awards at the Alumni Leadership Conference (ALC). The Outstanding Volunteer Leadership Award is a prestigious accolade that acknowledges an alumnus from over 120 Harvard Clubs or SIGs globally. It recognises a volunteer leader among hundreds and thousands of alumni who has gone above and beyond their regular responsibilities to make a significant contribution to their community and create a positive impact on the world, an official media release said.
This award not only celebrates Mr. Balendran’s significant impact within the global Harvard community but also acknowledges his tireless work to transform lives across Sri Lanka and the Asia-Pacific region through intellectual and social growth and community development.
Mr. Balendran has been a staunch advocate for education, community development, and economic empowerment, with a career spanning over 22 years. In 2021, he spearheaded the establishment of the Harvard Club of Sri Lanka as the 119th officially recognised Harvard Club in the world, a remarkable milestone that brought the global network closer to Sri Lanka. As the founding President and Chair of the Board of the Harvard Club of Sri Lanka, he has led numerous initiatives along with his fellow board members that bridge local and global communities, promoting the values of leadership, excellence, and service.
Mr. Balendran has an Executive MBA/PLDA from Harvard Business School and an MBA from Victoria University in Australia.
