Meet the Board

Build a community where every voice is heard, every tradition is celebrated,and every generation feels at home. STICA can be more than an event place; it can be the heartbeat of our community, a place where we come together not only to celebrate festivals, but also to learn from one another, support one another, and grow together. Together, we can move away from being just attendees at events to being co-creators of something bigger: a stronger, more connected, and more joyful community. 

Also streamline processes and make it easier for existing board members to operate and help them help the community

To bring fresh ideas and energy, while also honoring the knowledge and skills that have built our community, through engaging programs that celebrate our culture and strengthen our connections. 

Blending tradition with fresh ideas to create inclusive events, spread awareness beyond our region, and attract non-local attention. 

I’ve been part of the STICA since last year, working in the communications. I joined to help build stronger connections within the community and to contribute to sharing our culture and events more effectively. It’s been a great experience working with the STICA team - everyone is very supportive and encouraging.

After living in the community for over a decade now I'm honored to be part of STICA. Taking on the role of food chair is truly an honor and I am incredibly excited to contribute in such a flavorful way! I believe food is the heart of our culture, bringing us together for celebrations, comfort and connections. Im excited to work with our amazing team of volunteers to plan meals that not only taste incredible but also reflect the rich diversity of our Indian culture.

I’m deeply passionate about Indian culture and committed to building a strong, inclusive community around it. I believe cultural organizations thrive when members feel connected, engaged, and valued — and I see the Membership Head role as central to making that happen.

I’m excited about the opportunity to welcome new members, understand their interests, and create initiatives that help them feel involved. 

My goal is to help grow the organization not just in numbers, but in unity and impact — by strengthening connections among members and making our cultural presence stronger both within and outside the community.

I’m passionate about connecting people and making sure they have access to the right information at the right time. This not only helps keep our community informed and engaged but also celebrates our cultural identity and nurtures a strong sense of belonging. Being part of STICA has brought me and my family closer to our roots and given us a deeper connection to our heritage.

Websites are often the first place people turn to for information and connection. I’d love to contribute to STICA’s website and help shape it into a welcoming, reliable resource that reflects our community’s unity, cultural pride, and spirit of support.
