President Satish K. Tripathi is among four community leaders who will be honored when the National Federation for Just Communities of Western New York holds its 2014 Citation Banquet on April 10.

The NFJC has worked to combat racism and other discrimination in the area since it was founded as a branch of the National Conference of Christians and Jews in 1951.

In addition to Tripathi, honorees are JoAnn Falletta, music director of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra; UB Council member Christopher H. Koch, chief executive officer of New Era Cap Co.; and Monsignor David G. LiPuma, pastor of St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Lewiston.
