Greetings Omers! Welcome to a new Odyssey of the Mind Season!

NorCal Odyssey is thrilled to welcome our new Association Director, Marilyn Tamura.

Hello Omers –

As NorCal Odyssey Association Director, I want to welcome you all to the 2024-2025 season.

We are so excited to see our returning Omers and our NEW teams taking on the challenge of a new set of problems.

With a new season comes anticipation about what is to come! This year is no exception. The full problems have been released, and Odyssey HQ is rolling out a new system to help enhance your season. Now is the time to get your memberships, bring team members together, read your problems and explore what’s NEW.

Need help registering? Check out the HQ registration guide.

As we start this season, I would like to take a moment to thank Bruce Mackinlay, our former Association Director. Thank you for your many years of dedication to the program – we appreciate everything you have done to make our NorCal Association a success! Bruce took the reigns as we were going through a big transition, moving to work as one association instead of six different regions. His leadership has been instrumental in bringing our efforts to fruition.

I would also like to welcome our new Board members: Teams Director Bob Lipman, Events Director Jen Rafael and Officials Director Cheri Meadows. Thank you all for your contributions!

All of us at NorCal Odyssey of the Mind are looking forward to the 2024-2025 season. We can’t wait to see your one-of-a-kind solutions and smiling faces. If you need further assistance, please reach out to Bob Lipman, Teams Director or me!

Here is to a season full of creativity and teamwork!

Marilyn Tamura
Association Director
