HONORING
DOUG DRUMMOND HARBOR COMMISSIONER PORT OF LONG BEACH
Past Chair, Boys & Girls Clubs of Long Beach
Boys & Girls Clubs of Long Beach takes great pride in honoring Doug Drummond with the John C. Wallace Dream Maker Award for his undying support of our mission and goals. The award was created to recognize individuals who have made a lifelong commitment to advocating the mission and who make a significant impact upon it. As a youth, Doug lived at the Carmelitos Housing Project in North Long Beach and became a member of Boys’ Club of Long Beach. Years later, as a police officer, Doug joined the Boys’ Club Board of Directors and eventually became the board chair in 1981. As chair, he encouraged the Club to also serve girls, and began recruiting women to the board of directors. A few years later, Boys Clubs of America changed their name to Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and Boys’ Club of Long Beach immediately changed theirs to Boys & Girls Clubs of Long Beach. Doug’s career included 29 years in the Long Beach Police Department, attaining the ranks of sergeant, lieutenant and captain; and he retired a commander in 1988. As he ascended the ranks of the Department, he recruited other officers to serve their community as members of Boys & Girls Clubs of Long Beach Board of Directors. He was elected and served two, four-year terms on the Long Beach City Council; two of those years as Vice Mayor. He has been chair of the Greater Long Beach Chapter of the American Red Cross, and past president of the Downtown Lions Club of Long Beach, Long Beach Youth Centers, Inc., so you can see the pattern of long-standing service in our community. Thank you for attending, and/or supporting the 2017 Gala, as we recognize Doug Drummond for his faithful service to the community, the Port of Long Beach and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Long Beach.
Luther Burbank is proud to support the 2017 Oceans of Opportunity Gala benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Long Beach.
