SAN DIEGO — Operation Homefront announced today that a 17-year veteran of nonprofit leadership has joined the national nonprofit’s senior staff. Sarah Adams has been appointed the organization’s San Diego-based Senior Director.

Adams is responsible for outreach, community collaboration, volunteer engagement, fundraising, and service delivery in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and Hawaii.

Adams’ distinguished career includes positions with I Love A Clean San Diego, Volunteer San Diego, The Fleet Science Center, and Voices for Children. Most recently, she was the Assistant Director of Operations with a locally-based international training institute. Adams also has past board service with Surfrider San Diego, including two years as the Chapter Chair, and The Nonprofit Institute at the University of San Diego.

Adams is a member of a mult-generational military family.

“My father grew up as a military child with his father in the Air Force,” Adams said. “Both of my parents are veterans and met while serving in the Air Force. Many other family members and several friends have served in the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. I am grateful for all of their service and sacrifices; I am proud to now be working for an organization dedicated to supporting military families and wounded warriors.”
