Serving Saratoga; Conversations with Community Leaders

They care for hungry and homeless neighbors, maintain nature trails, put on concerts, keep seniors active, preserve our historic buildings, and so much more! They are the leaders of Saratoga’s social impact sector. What inspires and energizes them? How did they get into these unusual careers? What are their greatest hopes for our community?  What good advice can they share with us?

Serving Saratoga happens monthly on the last Tuesday from 4 – 5 PM. We start with a 30 minute conversation with a nonprofit leader followed by an informal half hour gathering where nonprofit workers and volunteers can meet up to swap news, ideas and encouragement. All are welcome to come recharge and connect!

This Month's Speaker:
TEDDY FOSTER
Director, Universal Preservation Hall

For years, Teddy Foster led a group of dedicated and visionary Saratogians, who worked to raise the funds to save & restore the historic High Victorian Gothic Church on Washington Street. Teddy solidified its second life after forming an affiliation with Proctors in 2015, which moved the stalled project forward with a redesign and a $14 million capital campaign transforming the formerly condemned building into a state of the art 700-seat, in the round venue for the performing arts and community events. She oversees all aspects of the organization including daily operations, fundraising, corporate relationships and performances.
