Staff Spotlight: Sayed Ihsan – Administrator, Refugee Services

At JFCS East Bay, we are fortunate to have Sayed Ihsan, is one of many dedicated team members who are deeply committed to JFCS East Bay’s mission. Sayed’s journey with JFCS East Bay began as a refugee resettled by our organization, inspiring him to give back.

“For me, working here feels like a full-circle moment,” Sayed shares. “As an immigrant resettled by the organization, I wanted to help other families and contribute to such a rewarding mission.”

In his role, Sayed manages administrative tasks, supports the Refugee Services team, tracks program financials, and collaborates with leadership to ensure program success. He is also part of the Data Transformation team, improving processes to maximize impact. In 2024, his team successfully resettled over 400 individuals in East Bay—a major accomplishment.

Sayed’s efforts connect community members with vital resources, ensuring timely and impactful support. Outside of work, he is passionate about learning new skills, volunteering, and supporting community projects.

We are grateful for Sayed’s dedication and the care he brings to his work, exemplifying the heart of our mission.
