The dinner, scheduled for March 10, 2018, will recognize Hook for her contributions to public education and extraordinary vision and dedication in supporting and expanding educational opportunities, according to a news release.

“Dr. Van Hook has been a vibrant champion of the kind of work we are doing at SCVi, and she sets an incredible example for our students of what vision, determination, and an entrepreneurial spirit can achieve,” said Amber Raskin, co-founder and CEO of iLEAD Schools.

Dr. Van Hook has held her position as CEO at the Santa Clarita Community College District since 1988, according to the news release.

In this time, Hook increased district revenue, retained top-notch faculty and infrastructure improvements district-wide which directly affected the college’s ability to serve the community, the news release added.

Improving college affordability is among Dr. Van Hook’s top priorities which enabled College of the Canyons to provide 250 students with their first year of college tuition-free, according to the news release.

“Her selfless, fearless leadership makes her a natural fit for our Vision in Education award, and we couldn’t be more pleased to honor her at our benefit dinner as we celebrate iLEAD Schools’ tenth anniversary.” Raskin said.

The annual benefit dinner, — to be held at the SCVi campus — will also celebrate the SCVi campus’ 10th year of operation at the event, according to officials.
