Membership Engagement Director
Teresa Lodato
Why I serve on the board: Being of service has been a theme throughout my life. I cannot think of a more humbling and fulfilling effort than that of meeting the needs of professional coaches in my home area of San Francisco, California! Each of you brings so many gifts and strengths to the table that it is an honor to be contributing to the growing needs of professional coaches. I look forward to making the onboarding experience for you engaging, worthwhile and fun!
Fun fact: I served as a Signalman (visual communications) in the US Navy aboard the USNS Joshua Humphries, a civilian oiler away ported in Sigonella, Sicily. I spent my tour cruising the Mediterranean ocean aboard what effectively was akin to a cruise ship. Civilians were paid handsomely to perform all of the unpleasant and tedious work pertaining to the ship (on and offloading, refuelling, maintenance, etc.) so I served with luxurious (by naval standards) benefits of: my own bedroom (with a large window and private bathroom, as well as a tv, VCR and even a mini-fridge left behind by the former resident), as well as wait staff dressed in crisp, white jackets and black slacks who took my three meal selections from daily changing menu options, which often included fresh fruit and vegetables native to the countries we visited.

Why I Serve on the SFBAC Board: As a career nonprofit professional, I have long been personally committed to supporting those groups and organizations that operate toward a vision of excellence and that make a positive difference in the world driven by a mission of service to others. Working in service of the greater Bay Area community of coaches not only gives me a (selfish) small thrill personally but moreover, it aligns with my professional values of connectivity and contribution to something impactful and relevant on a global scale.
