Saira organized a community workshop to develop a mural at the NFFT, which demonstrated her dynamic abilities. She effectively inspired others to elicit their own creativity as they brainstormed themes for the mural that resulted in high quality ideas. She has the rare ability to execute bold visions through her community development expertise. Moreover, she has a constant motivation to make her community a better place using her problem-solving methods and techniques.

I had the opportunity to collaborate with Saira in formalizing rural regional Main Street initiatives for the State of Oregon. Saira’s strategic mindset and ability to navigate complex projects were instrumental in successfully implementing these initiatives. Her experience in fostering collaboration between diverse stakeholders and her deep understanding of the intricacies involved in such projects were truly commendable. Saira is an exceptional communicator and working with her didn’t feel like work at all.
