Congratulations to Reyna Seminara, LMFT who won the 2nd Annual Laura C. Strom Distinguished Board Member Award for 2024! Reyna was elected by her Board peers (presidential trio forbidden to vote). She received the award at RECAMFT's 50th Anniversary Golden Jubilee Celebration, held at Odd Fellows Hall, Santa Rosa on January 3, 2025.

Here are some quotes from two of her Board peers about why they voted for Reyna. The quotes are anonymous because this voting ballot does not allow names to be recorded. 

"Reyna has served on the board for over 10 years and been active member on the Ethics roundtable for years including chairing it for a number of years. She has served as president and has always been someone who speaks up, especially for underrepresented groups. She asks thoughtful questions and isn't afraid to challenge the status quo. She is a committed member of the Scholarship committee from its inception. I would love to see us recognize her deep commitment to the RECAMFT community as Reyna officially retires and steps down from board service."

"Reyna is retiring from the board this year and I think this award honors her legacy at RECAMFT as an active and supportive board member."
