“ I have been appointed to a position in city government. I couldn’t have done it without you. Your SAGEWorks program made all the difference for me in three ways: first, computer skills; second, professional confidence-building in your many varied workshops on resumé, social networks and body language; and third, the workshops on aging particularly inspired me to get out there and get that job with the city! I can’t thank SAGEWorks enough!” — ROBERTA, AGE 60
