WHO Awards

WHO Awards stands for We Honor (our) Own. There are two levels of awards: local and state. The awards are one way for locals to recognize the significant contribution of their members at the local or state level.

On May 4, 2022 at 4:30 pm, Service Center 1 honored WHO Award recipients at the Sheraton Pomona Fairplex Hotel. CTA President Toby Boyd was the keynote speaker.

Jacquella Payne was our CTA State WHO Award recipient and Lena Solis was our MVTA Local WHO Award recipient! Congratulations, Jacquella and Lena!
