“Sarina Roffe is an extremely talented and dedicated professional who is uniquely qualified to work with nonprofits and small businesses to create or upgrade public relations/communications strategies, marketing plans, and brand identity. Her solid experience in these areas allows her to zero in on issues and successfully resolve them. She is a proven expert in government relations and understands the ins and outs of lobbying for a cause.

I have always admired Sarina for her ability to juggle many large projects at once, and would describe her as a true creative thinker with the focus and determination to overcome obstacles and make things happen.

The fact that JNF is today an NGO of the United Nations is completely due to Sarina’s initiative and hard work. Her expertise in government relations set JNF on a path that continues to reap benefits. Since Sarina left JNF, she has added a wide range of skills to her portfolio, and I’ve greatly admired the marketing efforts she did for ORT.”

“During my tenure on the board of directors of the National Cued Speech Association I had the opportunity to observe Sarina’s leadership and management skills. She maintained strong oversight in all aspects of the organization from accounting to programming. During her presidency Sarina increased the visibility and capabilities of the NCSA, allowing the organization to carry out its mission in a more efficient and effective manner. Any organization, whether for-profit or non-profit, will benefit from Sarina’s experience and management skills.”

Aaron Rose, Director of Camps and Affiliates, National Cued Speech Association

“Sarina Roffe is one of the most effective leaders I know. In the early 2000′s she became President of the National Cued Speech Association, a national non-profit organization that focuses on Cued Speech and improving literacy rates of deaf children. Her vision for the NCSA exceeded everyone’s imagination, she thought “big” and she effectively rebuilt it from the ground up, creating a solid financial foundation. Her goals and objectives became multi-pronged and under her leadership, the NCSA was able to work with the federal government to create opportunity for Cued Speech, leading to the legal recognition and protection of Cued Speech under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. She created opportunity by securing funding from congressional appropriations which were required to establish a national level of standards and certifications for Cued Speech professionals, instructors, transliterators, teachers of the deaf, speech therapists and anyone who comes into contact with a deaf child’s educational development. Today, the NCSA has a full time Executive Director, whch she is directly responsible for. It is because of Sarina that deaf children and individuals throughout America and abroad have a greater array of educational and employment opportunities available to them.”

Josh Libby, Regional Director – New England, National Cued Speech Association

“All those who come in contact with Sarina Roffé are extremely lucky people. We went together to graduate school and because of her caring and diligence she made the whole time that we were together doable. She organized study groups, made sure that if you were absent you had access to class notes and made sure that everyone in the class had partnership. Our course work was quite difficult, but with Sarina’s assistance and support the work became easier. Just knowing that you had someone to contact when you were struggling changed the whole complexion of the course into a manageable program. Thanks to Sarina’s efforts I was able to graduate with a higher average than I would have gotten on my own.”
