Upland, CA: Diana Fox, Executive Director of Reach Out, a Non-Profit Organization based in Upland, has been awarded Executive Director of the Year. The Academy for Grassroots Organizations annually honors the Inland Regions top non-profit organizations and staff for their excellent service to the Inland Empire region. Ms. Fox was selected from more than 250 non-profits belonging to the Academy for Grassroots Organization.
Ms. Fox was honored at the 2017 Academy Awards for Nonprofits Excellence Luncheon held Friday, April 14, at the Spring Valley Country Club in Victorville. Much to her surprise, Reach Out’s Board of Directors nominated Ms. Fox for this highly esteemed award.
