Congratulations to the recipients of the Leadership, Emeritus, Mentoring, and Tim Wilson Distinguished Service Awards, who will be honored at the WAA Annual Conference. We recognized the 2025 WAA Service Awardees last week, honoring three extraordinary organizations for their leadership, compassion, and resourcefulness of the Los Angeles community.

Congratulations to our three (3) 2025 WAA Service Awardees, whose commitment(s) to serving their hometown of Los Angeles with compassion, creativity, and urgency in times of crisis and need was nothing short of inspiring.
