Amelia is well known to many members due to her past service on Subud California’s Executive Committee as Regional Secretary and as Regional Chair. Her professional background is in nonprofit management and accounting. Amelia was opened in San Francisco in 1972 and is a member of the San Joaquin Valley Center. She lives near Badger with her husband Emmanuel.
In California she has served as Chair, Treasurer, Regional Councilor, and as helper in various centers. While living in England, she served as a Center Chair and as the National Executive Chair. And, at the international level, she managed the Puebla World Congress Gift Shop and and is currently the Administrator for SICA International.
She is an active mosaic artist whose work has been seen in several galleries. The mosaic at right is based on a painting by one of her two beloved grandchildren, which her granddaughter named “Nana.”
Amelia is also president of the Sequoia Community Center, which she co-founded with Sulfiati Harris in 2019. Supporting operations and ongoing development there is a special gift, enabling her to ‘give back’ much of what she learned professionally and received in life.
We are fortunate to have her broad experience in both the world of Subud and financial management available to us in her new role.
