"Three Words: Passionate. Genuine. Tireless. I've had the privilege of knowing Amita since 2019, when we built a STEAM-based Odyssey of the Mind club together. Working alongside her gave me a front-row seat to the kind of leader she is. I watched her pour her heart into creating meaningful challenges and opportunities for students, not just in one school, but across our community. Amita didn't stop at building a successful program. She reached out to other schools, raised awareness about Odyssey of the Mind, helped schools launch their own teams, trained new coaches, and inspired countless volunteers to get involved. Her enthusiasm is truly contagious. When Amita believes in something that benefits children, she brings people together and makes it happen. What impresses me even more is that her commitment has only grown over the years. As her own children progressed from elementary through high school, so did her service. She has taken on leadership roles focused on student safety, fundraising, budgeting, and increasing parent involvement. Everywhere she volunteers, she leaves the organization stronger than she found it. To me, Amita isn't just a passionate advocate—she's someone who genuinely cares about every child and every family. She leads with compassion, works with integrity, and inspires everyone around her to do more. Our children are the foundation of our future, and I can't think of anyone more dedicated to strengthening that foundation than Amita Gupta. Thank you."
