|
|
|
On Tuesday, October 10th, Debbie Hays, local inspirational leader and community enthusiast was awarded with the City's most revered honor: the Jared Sidney Torrance Award. Hays is described by many as Torrance's "energizer bunny," involved in various committees and organizations that celebrate Torrance's history. She has served on the City of Torrance Centennial Committee, the Torrance High School Centennial Committee, the PTA, Secret Hearts, the Torrance Historical Society and many more. While accepting her award, Hays proclaimed, "I'd rather be busy than bored," punctuated with a laugh and her signature smile.
The Jared Sidney Torrance Award was established in 1984. Recipients are chosen by the Mayor for their sustained service to the community. Presented by the Torrance City Council, the award recognizes citizens who have served the community continuously throughout their lifetime of leadership and dedication. Past recipients of the Jared Sidney Torrance Award include former elected and appointed officials, and exceptional community leaders who have served our community generously.
