Looking Glass President & CEO Craig Opperman presented the 2021 Community Leadership Award to Representative Nancy Nathanson at a recent Looking Glass board meeting for her stellar and steadfast support for our community’s youth and families in need. Nathanson has pushed for increased financial support for Looking Glass and other social service organizations including helping Looking Glass to receive new funds to help make needed capital improvements to Looking Glass homeless youth programs.
“The work of Looking Glass happens mostly behind the scenes,” said Nathanson. “But the diligent and committed staff devote their professional lives to helping young people, one at a time, and the work has a profound and lasting impact. Looking Glass plays an integral role in our community and I’m proud to support this transformational organization.”
“Representative Nathanson’s support means the world to us,” said Opperman. “She is a strong, determined leader in the legislature. We are very lucky to have her on our side as an advocate helping provide crucial resources to our most vulnerable youth.”
The Community Leadership Award is a new honor that Looking Glass looks forward to bestowing on many other important community members who are helping find ways to increase funding and support for efforts to combat the various challenges at-risk youth and families face today.
