Senior Connections had over 45 members attend this past Wednesday, Oct. 11, and the organization is also working hard to meet the highest standards of transparency through Guide Star.
Acquiring a Silver Seal of Transparency, and upgrading to the Gold and Platinum levels, adds tremendously to Senior Connections’ credibility as a responsible organization that will use contributions wisely and with a board of directors that provides governance on all decisions. The Seal of Transparency is attached to grants submitted to funders.
Here is some of what was posted: “Senior Connections has been in operation since 2015 and has evolved into quite a robust organization! Our Board Members are the ultimate decision-makers and they provide oversight for the organization. These Board Members set policy for Senior Connections, as well. Our policy manuals were updated this year, as part of our 2023 Strategic Planning documents, and our Board led the way! In 2022, Guide Star rated Senior Connections at the Silver Seal level of transparency, which adds significantly to our credibility, integrity, and makes us extremely donor worthy. We are in the process of updating our Guide Star profile, and will soon announce our Gold Seal of Transparency, and perhaps even the Platinum Seal, to our community! This lets you know, when you donate, exactly where your generous contribution is going and that the organization is governed by a local board of directors who take their fiduciary responsibilities seriously, to the highest degree.”
