The 2008 Nominees for Santa Clarita Valley Man & Woman of the Year.
Have you ever wondered how one obtains a shiny license plate holder declaring that the possessor is a SCV Man or Woman of the Year? There are substantially hearty hoops (some lit on fire) that one must toss themselves through to qualify.
Volunteer goodness is the big indicator for either of the coveted titles, and this year has seen no shortage of dedicated givers. On Friday, May 2 at the Hyatt Valencia, the whole crew of nominees, along with their beloveds/friends/family/hangers-on, plus previous winners, nonprofit reps and community dignitaries, will come together to salute the altruistic folk. Last year’s winners and this year’s event chairs, Jeanna Crawford and Greg Nutter, will serve as hosts.
