The ILCSC is saddened to announce the passing of
Anne V. Finn
As Secretary of the ILCSC Board of Directors for over 20 years, she was key to opening doors through her many contacts in the community, and in bringing new Board members to the Center.
Anne was a dedicated volunteer, and in 1999 the ILCSC named an award in her honor...The Anne Finn Volunteer Award. This award is presented to persons dedicated to community service and sharing in the spirit of the Anne Finn philosophy of volunteering.
With expertise in social work, Anne was involved in civic and community issues. Afiliations such as elected member to the Los Angeles Charter Commission, Los Angeles Handicapped Access Appeals Board, and Los Angeles County Accessibility Appeals Board brought generous substance to her work with the ILCSC.
The ILCSC Board of Directors, Staff, and Clients are truly grateful for her years of service to our organization.
We will miss her...
