REDWOOD CITY’S MONTHLY MAGAZINE GLENNA VASKELIS: “WORK AT A PROFESSION YOU LOVE” S Judy Buchan, Contributing Writer Glenna Vaskelis received the Business Woman of the Year Award from the Redwood City–San Mateo County Chamber of Commerce this month. Winning awards is nothing new for Vaskelis, president and administrator of Sequoia Hospital. In 2005 and again in 2006, she was named one of the Bay Area’s 100 Most Influential Women in Business by the San Francisco Business Times.
