Dr. O’Malley will be honored at the Clear Creek Education Foundation’s annual gala on Saturday, November 3, 2012 at the South Shore Harbour Resort and Conference Center in League City, Texas. 

 

The Citizen of the Year award is given annually to an outstanding community member within CCISD. “I was pleased to learn of the selection of Dr. O’Malley as Citizen of the Year,” said Ken Baliker, CCISD Board of Trustees President, “He continues a tradition of distinguished recipients of this award.  Jim has dedicated his talents and treasure to many worthy causes, and I’d like to personally thank him for enriching the lives of literally thousands of children and young adults through visionary leadership at the Clear Creek Education Foundation and Communities in Schools.”  

Dr. O’ Malley, who has been a member of the Clear Creek Education Foundation for more than a decade and served as Chairman of the Foundation’s Board and Senior Advisory Council, was nominated by David C. Black for the award. “Jim volunteers for CCISD because he has a passionate and deep belief in the value of a quality education and educational system, both for students and for the communities in which those students live, said Black. “Jim energized the Board through thought and action.”  Dr. O’Malley has also served the District through his work with Communities in Schools-Bay Area.
