Welcome New Board Member John Safin
Get to know John Safin, what he brings to the NOAH board of directors, and all he hopes to accomplish while serving in this capacity!
Q: Can you tell us about your professional background and current role(s)?
A: My entire career has focused on marketing and communications, whether that was as president of a business association, or in the hospitality or broadcast industry. For the past 18 years, I’ve been doing business consulting and economic development. My current role as Chief Encouragement Officer gives me the opportunity to provide services that show individuals and business owners how to reach their next level.
Q: What inspired you to join NOAH’s Board of Directors?
A: Two aspects of this role motivated me to get involved with the NOAH Board of Directors. NOAH literally provides life-saving services. Beyond that, NOAH’s team members enhance patient lives and lifestyles by embracing a total care approach to healthcare. Very few organizations make that level of impact on a community. The other motivating factor for being on NOAH’s board is the challenge it provides. I’ve served on boards, think tanks, and committees in both the private and public sectors, but only a few of those experiences come close to matching NOAH’s mission. My education, experience, and unique way of looking at things will be used like never before. I think this makes me an asset to help NOAH achieve its vision.
Q: What are you most looking forward to as a board member?
A: There’s always something new to learn, whether that’s as a NOAH board member or a person living their life. My goal is always to be better than I was yesterday. I look forward to helping NOAH do the same.
Q: What’s one fun or interesting fact about yourself that you’d like the NOAH community to know?
A: I play Xbox, like riding motorcycles, am a servant to my cat Stevens, and enjoy cartoons in addition to being a cute guy.
Q: Is there anything specific you would like to achieve or focus on during your tenure with NOAH?
A: I’d like to achieve whatever is needed for NOAH to have the best possible future. Too many lives would be in turmoil without NOAH’s services.
