Director of Care Management Services

SAGE is the world’s largest and oldest organization dedicated to improving the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning (LGBTQ ) older adults. Founded in 1978 and headquartered in New York City, SAGE is a national organization that offers supportive services and consumer resources for LGBTQ older adults and their caregivers, advocates for public policy changes that address the needs of LGBTQ older people, and provides cultural competency training for aging providers and LGBTQ organizations, largely through its National Resource Center on LGBTQ Aging and its growing social enterprise SAGECare.

SAGE’s current Strategic Plan emphasizes scaling its impact on behalf of LGBTQ older people and diversifying through shifts in its organizational structure and decentralization of organizational leadership and decision-making. One such organizational change is the creation of a new division called SAGEServes, housing the agency’s New York service programs and older adult centers. SAGEServes includes SAGE's existing service programs in New York city; the four older adult centers; and SAGE’s replicated direct service programs in other parts of the country. The new division works in tandem with the national initiative programs that SAGE offers consumers and providers, as well as a new social enterprises division that will house new ventures and opportunities for profit-generating services for the organization.
