Friend of NYSOMA

This award was established by the NYSOMA Board of Directors to honor the service of individuals, who through personal action demonstrate, in an extraordinary way, those social values affirmed to the goals of New York State Odyssey of the Mind. The inscription on the plaque reads: “In recognition and appreciation of unique talents and creative energies offered on behalf of NYSOMA.”

NYSOMA is pleased to present this year’s award to Jodi Antin.

With any new program comes a lot of challenges and NYSOMA could not have managed to make Odyssey Inclusive available in NY without the tireless and inspirational work of Jodi Antin.

​

Jodi has trained and supported staff and attended the presentations of the teams as they show case their solution to the modified long-term problem.

​

Jodie has long-term visions for the program in New York, planning out-reach and working on potential funding. She has done this while also supporting her own region14 as Co-Regional Director.

​

Jodi is incredibly committed to Odyssey Inclusive and strongly believes that this modified version of Odyssey has unique benefits for this population. Jodi is a true advocate not only for Odyssey of the Mind but also for Odyssey Inclusive.
