It's all about Passion & Purpose for PURNIMA

WE MUST BE THE CHANGE WE SEEK

If we are to make our community a better place to live, grow and raise a family, we must all do our part to change it. Our system is broken, and we deserve better. Our leaders are divided, and discord and blame are pulling people apart. Our neighborhoods face different challenges and not everyone experiences the same opportunity in life. 

Purnima is an American, with an extremely humble background. She believes it is her duty to serve the community and has dedicated her life to do so. Purnima obtained her MBA in Northwestern University and spent years as a management consulting helping organizations & corporations grow and become more efficient. Passion of community work took a life journey of itself - build a nonprofit from ground up dedicated to building US-India relationships which has helped bringing visibility to Indian community, local businesses grow, create jobs; and promote diversity, culture & inclusion. Purnima created IndiaFest, a popular local ethnic festival that brings communities together. 

Purnima represents the best part of our community and shares our values. 

INSPIRATION

Always inspire with action, and stay humble. Many kings died penniless. Many rose from rags to riches in fraction of a second. Focus on your deeds...not the results. Your Deeds are your Destiny. 

~ P. C. Nath (Purnima's Father)

In a time of domestic crisis, men of goodwill and generosity should be able to unite regardless of party or politics. Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future. A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all human morality.

~ John F. Kennedy

There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.  

~ Nelson Mandela
