A Season of Gratitude

SEBA President Alisha Rosa

November is a time to reflect on the people, relationships, and opportunities that matter most.

In this month's President's Message, SEBA President Alisha Rosa expresses her appreciation for our members, community partners, and the veterans who have served our nation.

As we enter this season of gratitude, we recognize those who dedicate their lives to serving others and the relationships that make our communities stronger.

SEBA Friendsgiving Thank You

A big thank you to all our SEBA members and invited guests who joined us for our 3rd Annual Friendsgiving. We truly appreciate everyone who took time out of their day to stop by and spend some time with us.

Events like this give us a chance to catch up and enjoy each other's company outside of our busy schedules. We're grateful for our SEBA family and look forward to doing it again next year!

As the holiday season approaches, SEBA Chief Executive Officer Lolita Harper reminds members to celebrate responsibly and take advantage of SEBA’s Rideshare Reimbursement Benefit.

Active SEBA members in good standing can receive up to $40 per calendar year in reimbursement for using a licensed transportation service, such as Uber, Lyft, or a taxi, when they need a safe ride home or to their place of stay.

To receive reimbursement, members must submit a completed reimbursement form and receipt within 60 days of their ride. Receipts must include the date and county of purchase.

Whether you're heading to a holiday party or gathering with friends and family, SEBA is here to help you get there and back safely.

After more than 30 years of dedicated service in law enforcement, SEBA member Ernie Armond is now facing a battle with stage IV liver cancer.

As Ernie returns home to spend time with his family, we ask our law enforcement community to come together and support one of our own. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the financial burden on his family during this difficult time.
