The FSA Board of Directors is pleased to announce new appointments: 

The transportation staff at FSA member Pennswood Village in Newtown, PA, used to fill most days with upwards of 50 scheduled trips. They’d drive the organization’s residents to doctor’s appointments, cultural events, shopping excursions—wherever they wanted to go. As COVID-19 safety precautions became increasingly strict, the number of rides dropped to a mere 1-2 per day for emergencies, but a number of other needs surfaced. Mail and package receipt and delivery, employee screening and campus monitoring became essential duties, among other adjustments.

What are the book(s) you’ve given most as a gift and why? True North by Bill George. It is a book about discovering your Authentic Leadership Style vs. emulating or modeling someone else. It was very helpful for me and others seem to feel the same way.

Dear FSA Members, Partners and Friends,
IT'S A BIG DAY FOR FSA!

I am thrilled to announce that, effective today, Friends Services for the Aging has a new name: FSA | Friends Services Alliance. This change has been a long time coming. Updates to our strategic plan and various measures have been in the works so we can reposition FSA as the organization it truly is:  A growing collaborative of organizations that serve seniors: Rooted in Values. Driven by Excellence.
