The York Suburban Education Foundation (YSEF) recently acknowledged the contributions made to the organization by its outgoing president, Sarah Reinecker, who served in this role for the past four years. Two books have been donated by the YSEF board to the school libraries in Reinecker's honor.
The board of directors thanked Reinecker for her commitment and personal investment. According to the board, Reinecker's inclusive leadership and warmth, passion, excitement, knowledge and dedication have helped YSEF forge strong relationships with donors, York Suburban (YS) alumni, staff, volunteers and students and has boosted YSEF's public profile significantly. Reinecker was recognized for being a judicious steward of YSEF, always mindful of its core mission to enhance the educational experience for students.
During her presidency, Reinecker has been a central member of the group that established the Impact Foundation, a student-led committee of YSEF. This included the establishment of six Impact Closets - one in each YS building - and the Food for Thought weekend backpack program. Reinecker has also been instrumental in increasing Pennsylvania state EITC and major giving support, alumni involvement, and community presence through the YSEF website and social media. She also led the board through an ongoing strategic assessment to keep YSEF relevant with the ever-changing educational landscape.
Reinecker is a founding member of YSEF. Prior to serving as president, she served as governance chair, fund development chair, a Celebration of Excellence committee member, and vice president. She is the Impact Foundation committee chair.
