The Child & Family Center held its annual board installation and awards ceremony Friday evening at the organization’s headquarters, with local dignitaries in attendance as it kicked off a yearlong celebration of 50 years of local service.
President and CEO of the organization, Nikki Buckstead, gave the opening remarks, and before the new board members were sworn in, awards were given to local organizations and individuals for their continuous support.
The volunteer of the year award recognizes “people who show up consistently, generously, and with hearts to support children and families with it matters most,” Buckstead said, before announcing the Santa Clarita Elks No. 2379 as the recipient of the award.
