“I’m thrilled to be back working at a grassroots level in the community,” says Roseburgh, who was named to the City & State Responsible 100 list in 2020 for his work as New York area manager for the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Census.
Roseburgh will make his public debut at the agency’s PSS Honors awards ceremony this Thursday, May 4 at Club 101, New York. The ceremony honors Commissioner Christina Curry of the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities, GetSetUp, the digital education platform for older adults, and Ariel Weissberger, founder of Berko Music Therapy.
As the political chairperson for the NAACP branch of the New York City Housing Authority, Roseburgh is familiar with the challenges faced by many of the community members served by PSS. He has been recognized for his civic work over the past 14 years running a successful holiday toy drive for the children in his neighborhood.
“We are lucky to have a person who is a proven leader with deep ties to the community to help us grow PSS Life! University,” says Rimas Jasin, Executive Director of PSS.
PSS is kicking off its text-to-donate feature at the Honors event. Funds raised will help support the expansion and enhancement of PSS Life! University. To make a donation to support the efforts of PSS, anyone can text PSSHonors23 to 44321.
