Sandra Scruggs has received recognition for 20 years of service to Boys Home of Virginia. Sandra began her work at Boys Home in July 2000 as Development Assistant and is now Development Coordinator. When asked about Sandra as an employee, Development Manager Elaine Brelsford says, “In her past 20 years and in the present, Sandra continues to make a meaningful contribution to Boys Home. She has invaluable depth of knowledge in the area of Development and is a great asset to the team. It has been my pleasure to work alongside Sandra, and I look forward to many more years to come.”
Sandra says the favorite aspect of her job is getting to meet visitors and donors, but especially seeing many of the young men grow through the years and graduate. She says it is especially heartwarming when they come back to visit. Congratulations, Sandra!
