Gunpreet Singh
President
As a mom and pediatrician, I deeply care about children. I realize the importance of global warming and how it is going to negatively impact the future of our kids. There is a risk of diseases, human displacement, lack of food, and drinking water in the near future.
I am humbled by the teaching and vision of our Gurus who cared so deeply about the environment, preaching that God himself lives in his creation. Pawan Guru Pani Pita, Mata Dharat Mahut.

Ameeta Kaur Vohra
Vice President
My name is Ameeta Kaur Vohra. An Accounting graduate from George Mason University, I am presently a senior staff accountant at TLC Cancer Clinic in York, Pennsylvania. I reside in Baltimore, Maryland with my husband and son. While I have always been concerned with harmful effects emanating from a polluted environment, my learning that roughly 80 percent of all cancers are caused by involuntary exposures to environmental factors, has made me further conscious of the need to have a safe, clean and a healthy environment. It was primarily this awareness combined with my faith-based values to respect air as our Guru, water as our father and earth as our mother (as recited in Jap Ji Sahib: Pawan Guru, Panni Pita, Mata Dharat Mat) prompted and led me to join the volunteer team of EcoSikh– an entity constituted in 2009 at the initiative of United Nations Development Program(UNDP) and the Alliance of Religions and Conservation (ARC) to promote and initiate environment cleaning projects through the integration of religious teachings in such drives. Associated with EcoSikh since 2016, my role as a volunteer provides me a sense of pride and gratitude for having been a part of the environment saving noble and cause and thus contributing a littlest of my share towards this virtuous and worthy initiative.

Rasna Kaur
Executive Director
I Rasna, a banker by profession, understand that Global Warming and Environment protection are burning issues in the world. Be it melting of glaciers, rising of ocean levels/ submerging of shore areas, or rising temperatures which can alter the complete ecology of the globe. Based on the little knowledge of Gurbani I would say that our Gurus identified the problem before it even emerged as a global issue and offered solutions in various verses. I would like to pay my gratitude to our Gurus by following and showing the right path to human beings and leading the life of doing more with less. I am focused and dedicated to protecting the environment by reducing plastic and toxic waste. These are the ones which cause maximum damage to our planet. The idea of EcoSikh has further brought enthusiasm in me to contribute to society through this organization and I would do my best.

Bhavdeep Bajaj
Treasurer
Cleanliness is next to Godliness. We should keep our air, water, and soil-free of pollution. As we are answerable to WaheGuruji (God) for our actions, I, Bhavdeep Bajaj, personally believe that we should leave Earth in a better state than we came in; that is the least we owe our generations to come. I encourage people I meet to make themselves and Earth healthier through actionable changes to have a happy life.
