\"\"Estimada familia de la Fundaci\u00f3n Comunitaria del Condado de Ventura,<\/p>\n

It has been 20 years since California State University, Channel Islands (CSUCI) held its first official day of classes<\/strong>. It is inspiring to read the historical timeline of events that resulted in Ventura County having its own prestigious four-year public university, and the theme for this milestone moment, \u201cHonoring our Past \u2013 Building the Future\u201d is simply perfect.<\/p>\n

It has been a true community effort and visionary leadership since the founding of CSUCI that has brought life-changing education to our region<\/strong>. The economic and cultural benefits to our community are too many to mention here; the university is truly a cornerstone to a healthy future for all in Ventura County<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There is so much good happening in our community. Below are just a few of many examples. Bottomline, our nonprofit sector is full of whole-hearted people like you<\/strong>, doing all they can to create lasting impact in our shared world. Thank you!<\/p>\n

Lastly, I hope you will join me in celebrating the recognition of VCCF Board Secretary, Leah Lacayo, for receiving the 2022 Robert J. Lagomarsino Award<\/strong> by CSUCI, and VCCF Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, Bonnie Gilles, who was recognized by the Pacific Coast Business Times as a TOP CFO in our region.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In gratitude,
