Please tell us how your qualifications and participation will relate to the requested board and/or commission's mission.

Dear Mr. Scott Means, The purpose of this letter is to introduce myself and my interest in joining the City of Oakland’s Commission on Aging. I have been committed to providing service to underserved populations for over sixteen years. In the last 12 of those years, this service has been specifically focused on seniors with the development of innovative programming, training and leadership, and the delivery of collaborative services at the affordable housing non-profit organization, Satellite Affordable Housing Associates (SAHA). It is my intention to bring my knowledge, experience and skills to the city that I not only call home, but I believe has the potential to be a leader in providing new innovative systems of support for aging populations in the Bay Area. Aging can and should be an empowering experience that is embraced, respected and treated with dignity. With the changing landscape of what a senior looks like in our society, Oakland has an opportunity to be a leading community in demonstrating supportive senior networks and restructuring how essential systems share information to support the health and well-being of an aging individual. I will bring my strengths in leadership, vision, collaboration and strategic development. Some examples of successful outcomes of my efforts are listed below: • Designed and implemented a Community Engagement Program to provide older adult residents living in affordable housing a wide range of enriching, engaging and educational opportunities (including intergenerational programming, community gardening, creative arts, civic engagement) that met desired outcomes; • Achieved a 99% rating on the most recent Resident Satisfaction Survey; • Overseen the delivery of services of up to 17 properties (approximately 750 seniors) and developed formal collaborations with appropriate program partners in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. I look forward to assisting the Commission in developing supportive networks that meet the diverse needs and interests of seniors that provides them the dignity and ability to age in place. I’d be delighted to have an opportunity to learn more about how I could possibly serve on this Commission and our aging community in Oakland. Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Asha Beene-Clarke Asha A Beene-Clarke

Aging safely and securely in Oakland is my goal and my passion. As an active senior, I am excited about the work of the Mayor's Commission on Aging to make Oakland an "age-friendly" community. Following a 10-year tenure, I recently retired from Center for Elders' Independence, a specialty healthcare provider that enables independence and well-being for Oakland's frail older adults; I fully appreciate that the needs of seniors range from simple to complex - but we all want the same thing: to continue living in our homes and communities in Oakland for as long as possible. Since 2016, I have represented CEI and worked closely with Oakland Adult & Aging Services and the Mayor's Commission on Aging to join the AARP Livable Communities network and engage with older adults throughout all 7 Council districts to hear what they love about living in Oakland and what their challenges are. We have made significant strides over the past 6 years to develop and implement plans to create more awareness about seniors needs, challenges and wishes and to mobilize City Council Members and Staff and other community groups and business leaders to help address them. I would like to continue this work as a Commissioner. Simultaneously, I have represented CEI on the Alameda County Age-Friendly Council and supported the efforts as other cities successfully join the AARP network and leveraging the experience and success we have had in Oakland. Additionally, I am also personally interested in bicycle and pedestrian safety and am an enthusiastic senior cyclist. I was recently appointed to the Alameda County Transit Commission Independent Watchdog Committee overseeing Measures B/BB which funds many of OakDOT's projects and planning improvements. I am a champion for bringing forward the needs of older adults and persons with disabilities in all I do and feel I can effectively advance the mission of the Mayor's Commission on Aging. Thank you for your consideration.

Serving as a Human Resource Analyst for Kaiser Permanente for over 5 years before transitioning into my current role, I continue to create bonds and avenues for members seeking assistance with health concerns including our seniors. I take a personal interest in servicing so many seniors with assistance in health care, benefits, transportation, open communication with physicians, and an array of other assistance to consistently and confidently affirm with all seniors that they are being taken care of in the best way possible. I know my years of experience will definitely continue to contribute to the wonderful work already displayed by the "Commission of Aging" board. Thank you.

Please tell us how your qualifications and participation will relate to the requested board and/or commission's mission.

I am currently the Executive Director of LIFE ElderCare, serving older adults in need throughout Alameda County. LIFE ElderCare’s mission is to empower the aging to live with independence and interdependence by nourishing mind, body, and spirit. We believe no senior should go hungry, suffer from loneliness, or lack transportation assistance, every senior should have access to quality health and human services has the right to thrive and age in the place they call home. LIFE ElderCare (LIFE) operates using a neighborhood-focused lens. We have on board 300-350 volunteers at any given time and know that is one of the aspects that enable us to serve at the level we do. They are our “lifeblood”.

We also hear often that members of the community enrich their own lives when they join us in fulfilling our mission. For the first 40 years of our org’s existence, we served only in the southern part of Alameda County; Fremont, Newark, and Union City. However, 7 years ago, we added the Central areas – Hayward, Castro Valley, San Lorenzo/Leandro, and other unincorporated cities – in order to meet the burgeoning need as the number of older adults has grown. After receiving request from multiple other parts of the County, we made the decision, we would provide our services anywhere in Alameda County as we were needed. As a result, we are now serving hundreds in Oakland with our Case Management, Assisted Transportation, and more. As our presence grows there, we are drawn to become closer to the good work done by The City of Oakland. To that end, I feel I could both learn from - and contribute to - the team of committed individuals that is MCOA. Thank you!

I served on the Commission on Aging until being termed off approximately 3 years ago. During that time, I worked on a project with other Commission members to conduct focus groups at seven locations throughout Oakland to learn what seniors felt was needed in their areas. Subsequent to that time, I've remained a member of the Health and Wellness Subcommittee of the Commission. For the last three years, I've been a member of Service Opportunity for Seniors Meals on Wheels, which provided Meals on Wheels to Oakland seniors. I now serve as the treasurer of the board of that organization. In addition, for the last seven years I've been on the National AIDS Memorial board of directors and have served as the board treasurer of that organization for four years. Prior board positions have included 12 years on the board of Maitri Compassionate Care, an HIV hospice/respite facility in San Francisco, where I was board treasurer seven years. I was also a board member of The Second Opinion, a non-profit in San Francisco that provides free second opinions to individuals diagnosed with cancer, using a panel approach with oncologists who donate their time and knowledge.
