Welcome to the Team:
Introducing Our Newest Erie Associate Board Members
Our Erie Associate Board keeps growing, and we could not be more excited about who is joining us.
Please join us in welcoming our two newest members: Sarnai Tsogtsaikhan and Claire Gaiefsky!
Sarnai is no stranger to Erie House. After volunteering with us for the past three years, she made the meaningful decision to deepen her commitment by joining the Associate Board, where she can do even more to support immigrant communities across Chicago. Her dedication to this work is personal and persistent, and she has already shown us what it truly means to show up wholeheartedly for the people around you. We are so thrilled to have her energy, her perspective, and her heart as a bigger part of our team.
Claire brings over 15 years of experience in nonprofit fundraising and volunteer management, along with a deep and genuine passion for community impact. She knows what it takes to build strong organizations and even stronger communities, and she brings all of that hard-earned expertise with her to the Associate Board. Claire has also been serving as a mentor in our TEAMS program since 2024, which means in many ways she is already family. We are so excited to welcome her in this important new role.
Together, Sarnai and Claire represent exactly what the Erie Associate Board stands for: people who care deeply about this community, who bring their time and talent to make it stronger, and who believe wholeheartedly in the future we are all working together to build.
We are truly fortunate to have them both, and we cannot wait to see everything we will accomplish together in the months and years ahead. Please help us give them a warm Erie House welcome.
Welcome home. We are so glad you are here.
