When Lynn Faria was named the next CEO of SAGE, the country’s oldest and largest organization dedicated to improving the lives of LGBTQ+ older people, she described the opportunity as “humbling and deeply personal.”
“I’m just incredibly humbled and honored for this opportunity,” Faria told The Advocate in an interview following her appointment. “I’ve been here at SAGE, working in close partnership with Michael Adams and other members of leadership for the last 10 years, which is about half of his tenure. Before that, I had been in the movement, working at the Empire State Pride Agenda during the marriage fight and the marriage win. I’ve admired SAGE for a long time, and I’m just so blown away by what Michael has built.”
