Christine Hockin-Boyd, Executive Director of Community Lifeline Center, was chosen by the Volunteer McKinney Center to receive the “Nonprofit Leadership Award” for 2010.  The award was presented at the McKinney Center’s annual volunteer appreciation event.  The award was presented by La Shandra Barbarin from Medical Center of McKinney, who  had the following to say about Christine :

“It has not been an easy path this past year, but Christine has endured, never losing sight of the errand.  Through her efforts and leadership Community Lifeline Center and its clients will live with the finer spirit of hope and achievement.”

Following the event Christine had this to say about winning the award:

“It’s a great affirmation both from the community and other nonprofit leaders in recognizing my leadership skills especially in light of rebuilding an organization that had virtually shut down. Meaning it gave me an opportunity to demonstrate my professional skills in assessing, identifying and implementing plans for improvement including repositioning the image of Community Lifeline Center.  And as a result of this recognition I hope that families, churches, community leaders, businesses, service groups, and more will come forward in demonstrating their support to our mission.”

CLC Volunteers were also honored by being nominated for the group volunteer award.   Their countless hours of time spent serving the needs of the community through CLC are greatly appreciated as is the dedication shown to the organization.  Volunteers are the lifeblood of any nonprofit and that is especially true at CLC.

The awards event was well attended by CLC staff, board members, and volunteers.  Enjoy the slideshow below with pictures from the event.
