Last week at its annual Spring Awards Luncheon, the Alliance of Eastside Agencies (AEA) presented Youth Eastside Services (YES) Associate Director David Downing with the Leadership Award for his service as AEA board chair.

“David is an inspiration,” said AEA co-chair Rochelle Clayton Strunk. “He has an incredible understanding of the complexities and challenges that human service organizations face, as well as the needs of our community. Dave is a true advocate.”
