and members.
In accepting her award, Bozoyan’s message was about being united
against violence, terror and genocides. Referring to the ARS,
ANCA-Glendale, Commission on the Status of Women and Neighborhood
Legal Services of Glendale, she added, “One of the reasons that we
created the Safe Family Task Force was because the YWCA Glendale lost
one of the domestic violence shelters and we had to come up with an
alternative for the victims.” She observed that service organizations
in the task force are helping the YWCA and community organizations
with relief efforts.
Alongside Bozoyan, Heart & Excellence honorees also included Toni
Beck Espinoza, Jory Potts, Mary Margaret Smith, and Joylene Wagner.
