She served as Board Chair and lead numerous committees and campaigns, including the capital campaign to raise funds to buy the organization's first headquarters. San Diego City Councilmember Sherri Lightner declared May 10, 2011 Sara Moser Day in the City of San Diego. Moser was recognized for her commitment to community and her tireless volunteer work. Involvement in a wide range of local causes includes Planned Parenthood, the La Jolla Shores Planned District Advisory Board, the YWCA, the National Women�s Political Caucus, the American Civil Liberties Union, READ/San Diego and several others. Sara also served on the board of directors at the La Jolla Shores Association and the Women's Bank. These efforts lead to her induction into the San Diego Women's Hall of Fame as an Activist.
