SCV Man & Woman of the Year.


The Santa Clarita Valley Man & Woman of the Year, as the title is known today, was started by the Newhall-Saugus Chamber of Commerce as the "Outstanding Citizen of the Year." (Initially only one person was honored each year.) The Newhall-Saugus Chamber became the SCV Chamber of Commerce, which organized the contest for a number of years. Today the event is operated by the SCV Man & Woman of the Year Committee, an independent nonprofit organization. Winners are selected by the committee, which consists of all prior recipients who are still alive. Honorees receive a cash award that they may give to the charity of their choice.

NOTE: William Bonelli was named "Oustanding Citizen of the Year" in 1966.
