Jewish Vocation Service names 2015 Business Leadership Award

SAN FRANCISCO - June 24, 2015 - PRLog -- The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department recently was awarded the 2015 Business Leadership Award from the Jewish Vocational Service.

“The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department has such a strong commitment to providing at-risk youth a safe and fun outdoor learning environment,” says real estate mogul C. Frederick Wehba, who was a past recipient of the same award. “I’m thrilled to be in the same company, along with others such as Bradley A. Luster, Stanley Black, Richard M. Kovacevich, Alfred E. Mann, Dr. Sideny Harman and Richard Ziman.”

Wehba is the chairman of BentleyForbes, a commercial real estate investment and management firm based in Los Angeles that has more than $3.5 billion in acquired properties.

JVS’ Strictly Business Awards Luncheon annually attracts more than 1,000 business and community leaders to celebrate the hard work of our community – people from all walks of life – who have turned their lives around through finding work with JVS. The organization also honors an exemplary employer that supports JVS in part by volunteering with and hiring its clients. Last year’s luncheon raised nearly $1 million.

The Jewish Vocational Service’s training, programs and resources have helped Bay Area job seekers to build in-demand skills and confidence, make connections and find jobs for more than 40 years. JVS is a respected leader in the workforce development community, and has been recognized both locally and nationally for its work in sector-based employment and training services, and its outstanding network of employer partners encompassing all sectors of the local economy.
