Experience Corps Bay Area (ECBA) volunteer tutors were honored at an appreciation luncheon on June 1, 2022, for their profound community impact, specifically delivering over 3700 hours of service to help children improve reading. The event, hosted by ECBA and attended by eighty tutors from San Francisco, Marin, and Sonoma, recognized these senior volunteers for their vital contributions to youth literacy. Sequoia Living, through its Community Services, supports programs like ECBA that empower older adults to make a difference in their communities.
Sara McVey, Sequoia Living President and CEO; Sue Dichter, Director of Community Services; and the ECBA staff welcomed eighty tutors from San Francisco, Marin, and Sonoma. Over lunch, guest speaker Joan Ryan, media consultant to the San Francisco Giants and award-winning author, shared insights from her new book Intangibles: Unlocking the Science and Soul of Team Chemistry. Joan spoke about how the fundamental human attribute of forming meaningful connections enables us to achieve our personal best while also elevating those around us to better individual and group results.
