Congratulations to Talia Nagar, our Senior Program Officer, Employment, for receiving the inaugural Alec Perkins Staff Award!

Longtime Tipping Point Board member Alec Perkins, now Emeritus Board member, has been an integral part to Tipping Point's growth and success over the past 20 years. This annual award celebrates a staff member who embodies the same resilience and dedication that Alec brought to his work—someone who steps up when the work gets hard and lifts up those around them.

We're so grateful to Talia for all her work spearheading Tipping Point's employment strategy, and to Alec for the integral role he's played in shaping Tipping Point into the organization it is today.

Like many students, Angela Ramirez had a dream college in mind. But being a student with a single mom, the path to college was costly and unclear. Tipping Point grantee Bridge the Gap made all the difference.
