In articles in the GoodTimes and the Pajaronian, you can see praise from the Board and community for Tim Brattan's inspirational leadership. He had the vision to grow the organization to meet the needs of our County, especially during COVID and the wildfires - and for seniors. His mantra: "grow our programs, make good decisions, get the money so we can 'just say yes'”.
"Under Brattan’s leadership the organization's diverse programs have grown to serve 4,500 seniors and thousands of business and residential customers throughout Santa Cruz County.
“It's been such a privilege to have helped expand Grey Bears impact," Brattan says. “Through the pandemic, CZU Complex Fire and steep rise in basic living costs, meeting the need for food, meals, household items, and opportunities to volunteer and socially connect are more important than ever – especially for those in our growing aging community.”
According to Pam Goodman, Chair of the Grey Bears Board of Directors, “Tim is smart, brave and has greatly grown Grey Bears programs over his 12 years as executive director. He is a visionary with tenacity and drive. The day-to-day operations are diverse and challenging. He manages to stay on top of it all. At the same time, he is planning for future projects to better serve seniors and Santa Cruz County residents.”
