About the Community Liaison Team
Who are we?
We are a team of community liaisons working with the City of Medford to design programs and services in partnership with Medford community members. We are the first multicultural and multilingual team of liaisons in Medford. We are passionate about connecting with Medford community members and lifting up the voices of our communities in the City.
What are we doing?
We have a long-term vision. We want Medford to be a better and more equitable place for future generations, and that means making sure Medford community members have the resources they need to prepare for and recover from climate emergencies like extreme heat, flooding, and major storms. We are exploring the idea of community hubs in Medford, and we are here to listen and to understand our communities’ experiences, needs, and ideas so we can create better services together.
Why should I get involved?
Every voice matters. In order to make our city a better place for everyone, we have to include everyone. We want to ensure everyone in Medford has the ability to access information and services they need.

Stacey Moore
My name is Stacey Moore, raised in West Medford, and I am currently serving as the Community Liaison for the African American community in the City of Medford. With a heart for service in the community that I love, my aim is to connect folks to resources within their reach, and to be a source for information in response to the need(s) of an individual or the community.

مرحبا اسمي Samira Hayek. أنا مهاجرة لبنانية. جئت إلى الولايات المتحدة في أوائل التسعينيات
Samira Hayek
أتحدث ثلاث لغات: العربية والإنجليزية والفرنسية. أنا أم لثلاثة أطفال. انتقلت إلى Medford منذ أكثر من عشر سنوات. لقد أحببت هذه المدينة وأريد أن يكون لدى الجميع نفس الشعور بالانتماء. لطالما كان لدي شغف لمساعدة الآخرين ولا يمكنني تجاهل المحتاجين. إن إقامتي في Medford ، منحتني الفرصة للعمل عن كثب مع أعضاء مجتمعي لزيادة الوعي بالأزمة البيئية المستمرة. أحب السفر والمشاركة في الكثير من الأنشطة مثل تاي جي (tai-ji) والرسم والكتابة والمشي لمسافات طويلة والطبخ والخَبز. مهمتي هي نشر الإيجابية والوعي، وكذلك أن أكون عضوة فعالة في تعزيز مرونة المجتمع.

Hello, my name is Samira Hayek. I am a Lebanese immigrant. I came to the United States in the early 90’s. I speak three languages: Arabic, English and French. I am the proud mother of three children. I moved to Medford over ten years ago. I grew to love this town and I want everyone to have that same sense of belonging. I’ve always had a passion for helping others and I can’t ignore those in need. Being a resident of Medford gave me the opportunity to work closely with members of my community to increase awareness about the ongoing environmental crisis. I love to travel and participate in lots of activities such as tai-ji, painting, writing, hiking, cooking and baking. My mission is to spread positivity and awareness, as well as to be an effective member to promote community resilience.
