Greetings to All of Our Members,
As we reflect on the past year and as the new year begins, we’d like to pause in gratitude and appreciation for NAMA members, volunteers, supporters, friends, and staff who have contributed to the continued growth of NAMA. We recognize and honor the dedicated volunteers who have devoted their time, knowledge, and experience to NAMA for many years and have now stepped down from their positions. Their significant impact, steady leadership, and expert guidance have helped shape Ayurveda in the United States and will undoubtedly continue to do so in the years to come.
In 2022, the association rejuvenated, grew stronger, and a widened its reach more than ever before. We are welcoming a new Executive Director, staff members, board members, and volunteers, all united in our vision to continue to share and promote Ayurveda in the United States. Over the past two decades, NAMA’s core values and mission have not wavered, thanks to the tireless efforts of volunteers and staff. There are currently over 70 members volunteering their time on the 15+ committees and subcommittees of the association. We invite you to become involved in NAMA as a volunteer in 2023. The vibrant and dynamic Ayurvedic community that has come together continues to empower individuals, communities, and humanity to enhance health, well-being, and self-awareness through Ayurveda.
We are confident that 2023 will be an amazing year. NAMA is growing! We have so many great offerings and member benefits, so please keep an eye on your email and social media. We thank you all for continuing to support NAMA through donations, volunteering, attending the conference or our events, sharing the news about NAMA, and, of course, sharing Ayurveda with your community.
We wish much light to you in the year ahead.
Warmly,
Jayarajan Kodikannath, BSc, BAMS, AD
NAMA President
