2025 Honorees
Dr. Henry Davis
Davis is an Air Force veteran and Bronze Star recipient whose passion for learning
led him to earn six college degrees and devote his life to teaching others as a professor
at Hancock. A beloved educator, Davis was one of the college’s first full-time African
American faculty members who often taught in Lompoc and the nearby prison. He not
only inspired generations of students during his 30-year career, but he continued
to teach and volunteer after his retirement and was instrumental in establishing the
college’s Veterans Success Center. His commitment to service also earned him recognition
from the California State Assembly for his lifelong dedication to education and student
success.
Jim Glines
Glines, co-founder of the Community Bank of Santa Maria, was known not only for his
leadership in the local banking industry but also for his tireless auctioneering for
nonprofits. He championed many local organizations and founded Hancock’s Bulldog Boosters
to support athletics at the college and the AHC Rodeo Club. Though he passed away
in February, his legacy lives on in the institutions and people he supported across
northern Santa Barbara County.
Santa Ynez Valley Foundation
The Santa Ynez Valley Foundation, founded in 1991 by philanthropist Stuart C. Gildred,
serves as a cornerstone of charitable giving in the Santa Ynez and Los Alamos valleys.
The Valley Foundation has supported scholarships at Hancock for over 20 years and
was an early funder for the Hancock Promise campaign. The organization has invested
over $7 million in local programs that support health and human services, education,
the arts and youth development, including its own scholarship program for students
in mid-county.
