The Valley Cultural Foundation announced Gina Guarino from Held Properties will be the 2021 Chair of the Board of Directors.
Gina has had a long history in Woodland Hills as a resident and community leader for over 17 years. She was a member of the VCF Board first in 2017 and is now rejoining in 2021. Her can-do attitude and support throughout the years, whether on the board or not, has been invaluable to the community and our programs.
