"Saphira Baker directed the Foundation’s efforts to increase awareness of civic engagement among older adults. She led a team whose productivity was extraordinary, resulting in new funding to share effective practices at a community symposium, a cutting edge research report, a public forum held by the major daily paper, significant media attention, and hundreds of citizens and organizations motivated to jump in and help the region engage older adults as volunteers. Saphira is an excellent facilitator, writer, communicator and problem-solver; people enjoy working with her and are motivated to go the extra mile with her leadership.”
