Sarah’s work in national security and foreign affairs continued as she was a member of a Bipartisan Congressional PTSD Task Force – a group that provided recommendations on how DoD and VA can better support military members, veterans, and their families. Sarah was also part of the volunteer UNICEF Board where she was Co-Chair of the Advocacy Committee and supported numerous projects that addressed child poverty. During Sarah’s time with UNICEF, she was lucky to meet her husband Max who also served on the board. In addition, Sarah’s microfinance work in rural India was transformative. She saw firsthand how access to capital can strengthen communities, and help alleviate poverty while addressing gender inequalities. Her brief stint in India served as an inspiration that eventually led to her co-founding an impact investment firm, MaSa Impact. The portfolio is mission-driven and invests in renewable and clean energy, women-owned businesses, and agriculture in Wisconsin and around the world.
