Welcome New Board Members!
Vesper Society is happy to link arms with three new leaders who join our board of directors: Adina Safer, Lyell Sakaue, and Cynthia So-Armah. These three share Vesper’s belief in the simple idea that a just society begins when everyone is well and respected as a human being. We look forward to working with them to find long-term solutions that improve the health and well-being of overlooked communities.
Adina Safer has spent her career focused on the business and the changing ways healthcare providers are receiving payments. And for over fifteen years, she has worked to increase access and equity in public education.
Lyell Sakaue has collaborated with numerous organizations in the social sector to refine their strategies to achieve greater social impact. His work emphasizes creating pathways to improve economic mobility, racial justice efforts, and initiatives to shape public policies.
Dr. Cynthia So-Armah is a primary care internist in Massachusetts where she serves a predominantly Dominican immigrant patient population. As a student, she helped to found a nonprofit in the Dominican Republic to create access to quality education for students there.
These remarkable individuals reflect our commitment to our values of service, justice, and partnership. With their compassion and expertise on our board, we are one step closer to realizing the potential for healthy communities to thrive and prosper.
