Every year hundreds, perhaps thousands, of CSAs take time from their
busy practices to make a difference in the lives of seniors. The Society of
Certified Senior Advisors believes it is important to recognize the outstanding
achievements of our CSA's who are helping to improve the lives of seniors
through their volunteering efforts.
Compassion, creativity and a “can do” attitude
make CSA volunteers an incredible asset to the seniors they serve and to the local
non-profit organizations that serve the senior industry. CSA's are
problem-solvers, fundraisers, facilitators and friends. Volunteering with
seniors is a passionate attribute to the personal and professional services provided within their communities.
We are pleased to announce the winners of the 2013 Service to Seniors Awards program.

2013 CSA Samaritan: Sandy Archdale - Certified Senior Advisor®
- Certified Paralegal
- Life, Health and Disability Insurance Agent
Sandy
has been
a Certified Senior Advisor for over 10 years. She has more than 40 years as a
certified paralegal as a solid foundation. She has also been a life, health and
disability insurance agent since 1995.
Sandy first decided to become a CSA when her mother became seriously ill in 2001. She was very active in her mother's care issues and working with her various medical providers. The "to-the-point" quality training offered by SCSA to see issues from the senior's perspective is what attracted her to the organization in the beginning.
As a CSA, Sandy works with seniors on many of their needs, but specializes mostly in Social Security and Medicare issues. Her primary emphasis is how these issues, specifically Social Security, affect women and their financial future. She has successfully helped many women obtain increased Social Security benefits above what they were previously receiving.
