Andrea is commiteed to “engaging the aging” by recreating community. Read what others have to say about her local and national efforts.
“As Council on Aging liaison for the City of Thousand Oaks, I have had the pleasure of working with Andrea Gallagher on a number of community activities. She challenges seniors and fellow committee members to be creative thinkers in making the community a better place and strategically plan their ideas.
What is impressive about Andrea, apart from her intelligence, attitude and eagerness to take on new challenges, is her clear understanding of the value of commitment and her eagerness to let others learn from her experience. She had a way of positively motivating people that is impressive. It is a pleasure to recommend her as she is an exceptional advocate for our seniors”.

“Working with Andrea on any project is always a pleasure because I know she will deliver exceptional work product and presentations. Her analytical and organized approach to her work, coupled with her ability to articulate viewpoints and communicate graciously makes Andrea a cut above. I have enjoyed her presentation skills while absorbing Andrea’s vast knowledge of the “senior” industry when attending one of her seminars and working with her in our local organization “Moving Seniors Forward”.

“As a fellow professional in the field of senior services, I look to Andrea when creating “plans of action.” Andrea’s innate ability to research, organize, and think “outside the box” in order to reach an agreed upon goal is extraordinary! During our several years of collaboration, Andrea always brings to the table an expertise that enables her to ferret out the issues at hand; she is an effective listener and an expert communicator. Andrea is a “Champion” of the older adult and successfully finds solutions to the very difficult challenges that aging brings to all who are living in the very complex society we call “home.”
