Los
Angeles is a city filled to the brim with Change Agents. We are a city
that works together to change for the better, filled with inspirational leaders
who are not afraid to alter the status quo in their journey to making Los
Angeles a better place to live, work, and play. Our greatest asset is our
people; it is because of the hard work and passionate nature of these Angelenos
that we can be proud of what we have accomplished as a community and rejoice in
calling Los Angeles our home.
The Chamber’s City of Angels Awards Gala had a packed house with over 240 attendees.
From
economic powerhouses to selfless philanthropists, each day within Los Angeles
highlights the amazing men and women that are working tirelessly to make this
city great—and the LAX Coastal Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce that on
Tuesday, April 16, they were able to recognize three such leaders at their
annual City of Angels Awards Gala. The event was hosted at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport Hotel and
recognized the impacts and accomplishments of:
Councilmember
Mike Bonin, 11th District
Mayor James
T. Butts, City of Inglewood
Joe Czyzyk,
Mercury Air Group
Each “Angel”
was honored for showing dedication to the city of Los Angeles through their
civic engagement, outreach efforts, and volunteerism. The LAX Coastal Chamber
was proud for the chance to say “Thank you!” to each honoree with an engraved
Angel Award and a promotional video highlighting heir accomplishments by proud
Chamber member, Fiction Films. For the finishing touch, the Hilton Los Angeles
Airport Hotel staff presented all guests with a triple chocolate cheesecake
dessert—garnished with the logos of each honoree.

The evening’s
program also celebrated the milestone anniversaries of local businesses that
are involved with the Chamber and community. Owning and running a business is
no simple task, and the LAX Coastal Chamber understands that professional
success requires hard work and dedication and that it is only through the
strength of employees and owners alike that a business can thrive year after
year. From 5 to 155 years, the Chamber was proud to celebrate each and every
member anniversary on stage at the City of Angels Awards Gala with thunderous
applause and a signed proclamation. Congratulations once again to the evening’s
highest anniversary, McCarthy Building Companies, who was celebrating 155 years
in business.
The LAX
Coastal Chamber of Commerce would like to remind all local business owners,
professionals, and residents that they too can make a difference. In the words
of honoree Councilmember Mike Bonin, “I’m really acutely aware that I’ve got
today to try to make a difference. I might have tomorrow, I don’t know, but I
know I have today. Part of your job as a human being is you have to contribute
in a positive way.”
Congratulations to our top anniversary: McCarthy Building Companies celebrating 155 years!
