WE CELEBRATE THE REMARKABLE LEGACY OF THE INCOMPARABLE ANTONIA HERNÁNDEZ AND THE ENDURING CONTRIBUTIONS SHE MADE TO CCF AND THE REGION. 
We also pay tribute to the memory of the late Gloria Molina, CCF’s Board Chair and a prominent leader in L.A.’s civic community. Both extraordinary women left an indelible mark on Los Angeles.

IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT I HAVE BEEN AT THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION (CCF) FOR TWO DECADES!
What an amazing experience and privilege of a lifetime it has been to work at an organization devoted to making Los Angeles a better community. Yes, LA is messy, and we confront many challenges, but it is a place where dreams come true. LA is my imperfect paradise.

Antonia Hernández
President and Chief Executive Officer (2004 – 2023)
