DIABLO'S CITIZEN OF THE YEAR 2021
Since 1971, the DPOA has been recognizing residents who do exceptional work in our community by honoring them as Citizen of the Year. Jan Novak conceived of and led the program to tell the stories of our long time residents via “Diablo Honors”. She has led the effort to improve the pandemic inspired lending library, deliver warm welcomes to new residents, recruit volunteers, and always thinks creatively about ways to improve the DPOA. Thank you, Jan, for making our community a special place.
