Council Officers
After 39 years residing in Shrewsbury, I made the move to Southgate in 2023 where I quickly discovered a vibrant, welcoming community. Living here has provided me with many opportunities to experience cultural, educational, recreational and social programs and activities. Elected to the Resident Council in 2024, I have the honor to have been selected as President of the Council for 2026. I love living at Southgate. It’s my home now, and as such, I want the very best for all of our residents.
“As a Resident Council member, I am fortunate to have the opportunity to represent residents to Southgate Management and to share my professional, career and personal experiences in this role as spokesperson to enhance the varied aspects of our community lifestyle.”
“As a member of the Residents’ Council, I am able to facilitate communication between Residents and management. Living here at Southgate has given me the opportunity to become an active citizen in our vibrant community. This is my home, and I love it!”
“Having lived at other senior living facilities before moving to Southgate, my wife and I are pleased to have found such a well-run and welcoming community in which to live. Southgate is simply better organized than the other places. Being on the Resident Council will offer me an opportunity to share my previous experiences for the benefit of the Southgate community and to help Southgate function in the best possible way.”
“I joined the resident’s council because I believe in the power of community and the importance of having every voice heard. My background and experience have given me the skills and perspective needed to listen, collaborate, and help address the needs of our residents. I’m excited to contribute and confident that I can make a positive impact on the council’s work.”
