Nominations accepted for ClvFFie awards





Nominations are being accepted for the seventh annual Conejo/Las Virgenes Future Foundation’s “CLvFFie” awards. The awards (pronounced “Cliffy”), honor individuals and groups from the region.

Members of the community are asked to submit the names of worthy candidates in various categories to the Future Foundation office by June 30, the final deadline. The awards will be presented in November.

Finalists in categories of The Arts, Business/Professional, Community Service, Education, Health, Public Safety, Youth Sports and Youth Leadership will be invited to attend the CLvFFies awards.

According to Fran Brough, executive director of the foundation, a new category- Youth Leadership- has been added this year. Candidates for this category will have demonstrated leadership qualities that have had a positive influence on youth and the community, Brough said.

“This event is designed to give those nominated a special evening to know how much the community appreciates them,” said Carl Herman, the foundation’s chairman. “We hope that finalists will take this opportunity to share this memorable evening with family members, many friends and the community.”

Candidates chosen as finalists will be notified in late September, Brough said. One person in each category will be selected by secret ballot and revealed at the Nov. 4 event at Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza in the Janet and Ray Scherr Forum Theatre.

The Conejo/Las Virgenes Future Foundation is an apolitical, nonprofit “think tank” organization dedicated to the study of issues important to the region generally bounded by the Conejo Grade to the Calabasas Grade along the U.S. 101 corridor.

The foundation sponsors several events during the year, from its annual Youth Congress for high school students and colloquia including “Financing Our Region’s Future” and “A Day in Your Life in 2016,” to a Senior Congress program. In the past, the senior program has addressed financial planning, healthy aging and other topics of interest to the senior set.

Nomination applications are available through the foundation and can be printed from its website, www.clvff.org.
