This year we are proud to honor Sarah Clish (’96). Anyone who knows Sarah understands just how deserving she is to receive this award. A native of San Jose, she has volunteered in support of many nonprofit organizations during the past 20 years and has served the Alpha Gamma Delta Fraternity alumnae club in many different leadership positions during that time.

“This award is past due for Sarah, who has served dozens of nonprofits over the last 20 years,” said Rick Holden, SJLC executive director. “She has almost singlehandedly been running the Steinway Society since the untimely passing of the ED over a year ago — this perfectly sums up Sarah, who just gets involved, makes this happen and stays committed to the organizations she serves.”

Today Sarah volunteers with: Project Cornerstone (steering committee member); Steinway Society the Bay Area (president of the board); San Jose Children’s Musical Theater (chair of the audit committee); San Jose Leadership Council (past president and chair of the board connection committee).

When she’s not out working for our community, she is a Certified Financial Planner with Ameriprise Financial. Sarah will be recognized at the San Jose Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce’s Legends & Leaders dinner at the Fairmont Hotel Nov. 4. Congratulations Sarah, and thanks for all your efforts to make San Jose a better place to live, work and play.
