Dear Senior Corps Leader,
We are very pleased to welcome Deborah Cox-Roush as our new Director
of Senior Corps!
Appointed by the President, Deborah will lead our Foster
Grandparent, Senior Companion, and RSVP programs that engage 245,000 older
Americans each year in results-driven service to meet pressing needs in
communities across the nation.
Deborah brings more than 30 years of high-level professional
experience in management, events, advocacy, and volunteer coordination. Most
recently, she served as Special Assistant to the Secretary at the U.S.
Department of Education. Before moving to Washington, D.C., Deborah owned an
advocacy consulting and event management company in Florida. She has a long history of involvement with
community, nonprofit, and philanthropic causes related to women, economic
empowerment, small business development, and job creation.
Deborah is eager to meet with and hear from as many of you as
possible in the weeks and months ahead. In the meantime, she wanted to greet
you through this short video.
Deborah’s first priority is listening to and learning from you
about how we can make Senior Corps even stronger. We are excited to work with her to improve
lives, strengthen communities, and expand opportunity.
As Deborah takes on this role, I want to say a big thank you to Erin
McGrath for doing an outstanding job as Acting Senior Corps Director for the
past six months. Erin will continue to bring
great energy, skill, and passion for Senior Corps as she returns to her Deputy
Director position.
Warmest Regards,
Kim Mansaray
Acting Chief Executive Officer
Corporation for National and
Community Service
