Executive Director Jessica Sedgwick will speak

SUNSHINE CLUB

GRF Executive Director Jessica Sedgwick will speak at the Sunshine Club’s meeting on Friday, Aug. 5, at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 4.

Sedgwick stepped into her role on June 22. GRF recruited Sedgwick from her position as the general manager of San Bernardino County’s Ontario Ranch, which is California’s top-selling master-planned development.

Sedgwick, a UCLA graduate, holds two of the highest community management certifications, and has qualified for the examination necessary to gain the field’s most prestigious designation, Professional Community Association Manager.

In her new position, Sedgwick supervises approximately 170 employees who maintain miles of streets and infrastructure, a 2,500-seat Amphitheater, and multiple clubhouses in the mile-square community. In fact, Leisure World is virtually its own city, hosting a library, 24/7 security, newspaper, bus system, pharmacy and a 16,000-squarefoot healthcare facility.

Sedgwick has also inherited many new improvements, including an upgraded and enlarged fitness facility, plus an expanded its swimming pool. LW also built a second performance venue, an Internet-wired learning center and game room, and refurbished its arts studios and wood shop.

There will be four speakers at the Sunshine Club this week including Sedgwick on Aug. 5 Sandra Teel will speak on Aug. 12, CEO of CruiseStar. com Patrick Webb on Aug. 19, and Dr. David Park from Optum on Aug. 26.
