Amita Srinivasan is a current member and a past President of DeafBlind Citizens in Action, a national disability rights nonprofit organization in the USA. After being elected President in 2018, Amita focused on the need for reliable, safe and accessible transportation as key to increasing wellbeing and participation of the deafblind community in society and in the labor force. As chair of the DBCA Transportation Committee, she directed surveys to study the effects of accessibility of different transportation methods in the Deafblind Community. The collated research was transformed into a white paper that generated recommendations for increasing accessibility in current and emerging transport technology. In addition, Amita has also interned at the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor in the U.S. Department of State, where she analyzed regional legal systems, specializing in South and Central Asia, to identify openings in the legal and policy frameworks by cataloging gaps in policy/laws and comparing them to best practices standards that uphold fundamental freedoms of persons with disabilities. She has also served on the Disability Advisory Committee at the Federal Communications Commission. Amita currently works as a data analyst for a Fortune 500 technology company.
