“In a packed Millennium Biltmore Hotel grand ballroom in Los Angeles today, and with a very competitive field of CFO Finalists (40 in total), Sunny Robilotta, CFO of Exceptional Children’s Foundation, was named the 2012 Nonprofit CFO of the Year by the Los Angeles Business Journal’s panel of judges. The award, in a highly competitive category in a town with literally thousands of nonprofit organizations, places Sunny among the City’s elite financial leaders, a place she has occupied for years among all of us who work with and know her.”

This announcement was made today by Dr. Scott Bowling, CEO of Exceptional Children’s Foundation, a wonderful service organization on whose board I have served for over a dozen years. I was there as the award was announced, and to share this honor with Sunny and ECF.

Great work does bring its rewards. I thought you’d like to know.
