SV Branches works with Urban Ed Academy to organize and manage emails, calendars, events and finances to optimize the Executive Director’s daily workload.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, URBAN ED ACADEMY
“For 7 years, our organization has been working to ensure that Black men become full-time classroom teachers in the Bay Area. Urban Ed Academy manages multiple cost-saving strategies to address deep representation gaps in the profession. By working with SV Branches Inc., I’ve increased my efficiency and impact with our work. Diane has become an invaluable member of our team
EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT
Randal Seriguchi, Executive Director of Urban Ed Academy, was challenged daily with managing his ever increasing number of meetings and emails related to the growth of his organization. He recognized he needed support in order to free his capacity to focus on the vision and leadership required of him as an Executive Director. Randal contacted SV Branches to help him get the administrative support he needed, to sort through his emails, calendar and expenses.
SV Branches assigned senior Executive Assistant, Diane Tarapata, to work daily with Randal to set goals and optimize his day so that he can meet the challenges of a growing organization. Diane began her work with Randal by actively listening to his goals and needs, and then began managing his emails and calendar, optimizing and automating his expenses, and prioritizing what Randal needed to attend to. Through this comprehensive support, Randal now has more time and capacity to focus on his key goals.

FOUNDER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ROOTED SCHOOL INDY
“We are currently working with two Executive Assistants with SVBranches. They are both strong executors, detailed oriented and
organized. They have both been a huge benefit to the organization. I was often told to get an Executive Assistant because it would change
my life and they have added more value than I could have imagined. I am now able to focus on being a CEO and our organization is
thriving. I would recommend SVBranches to anyone who wants to take their organization to the next level.”
