“Saphira Baker has a keen ability to motivate individuals at all levels of an organization and from all sectors of the community to get things done. Saphira was highly effective in convening a diverse coalition of public agencies, school district staff, university, nonprofit and faith- based leaders, funders and elected officials through a year-long planning and community building process aimed at bringing federal funds to Richmond for student achievement and community revitalization. She motivated participants to give their best to the effort, helped us make critical decisions about where and how to focus, designed productive and engaging meetings, and created a process that made everyone feel welcome. Saphira has both a practical and visionary approach to planning, implementing and sustaining collaborative efforts to improve communities.”
