This year's outstanding recipients of the Inspiration Award are Mayra Plascencia, Luis Jasso and Lorrie Williams, each of whom overcame substantial obstacles with the help of JVS SoCal. Mayra is an Iraq combat veteran who served in the U.S. Marine Corps and received assistance from the L.A. County Veterans America's Job Center, which led to her position as Manager of the Veterans Resource Center at California State University, Northridge. Luis is a single parent and JVS ApartmentWorks® graduate, who was hired immediately as a Greystar maintenance technician at the recently opened Circa L.A. property across from Staples Center. Lorrie was a client of the West L.A. America's Job Center where she received the training she needed to launch a new career and today she is working for Skanska on Metro's Regional Connector construction project in downtown L.A.
