Ethel Seiderman, executive director of the Parent Services Project in San Rafael, is retiring at 75. She plans to work as a consultant for the group and would like to help train the next generation of nonprofit leaders in her retirement.
After 32 years helping to shape child care and early childhood education in Marin County, Ethel Seiderman, 75, is retiring.
Well - sort of.
Her passion for kids and for empowerment of families still colors her days. Though she stepped down as executive director of the Parent Services Project in the Canal area at the end of November, she is still working part time as a consultant, and has ideas to burn about what she'll do next.
Seiderman has been a scrappy, no-holds-barred advocate for children ever since she arrived in Marin in 1967 and six years later opened the pioneering Fairfax-San Anselmo Children's Center, providing low-cost child care for families in need."
