The event serves as an awards ceremony for local and regional business and community leaders, as well as a passing of the gavel to incoming Board Chair Maria Jacobo of Insperity.

The event showcases some of the more than 530 investing member businesses in the Chamber that serve the community and provide many of the 70,000 jobs in Culver City.  The business community has enhanced the quality of life and made Culver City a unique place to live, work, learn and play since the Chamber was founded in 1921.  The event also recognizes a number of active civic and nonprofit organizations working tirelessly to enhance the community.

As the Presenting Sponsor, Optimum Seismic provides major funding for the event, and actively supports the mission of the Chamber of Commerce to be a catalyst for business growth and expansion, a connector of people, ideas and resources, and a champion for a strong community.

“The Culver City Chamber of Commerce is very pleased to have the active support and involvement of Optimum Seismic, which has been providing professional earthquake engineering and construction services in California since 1984,” says Chamber CEO & President Colin Diaz, ACE.

“Resilience is a priority in Culver City, and we expect that Optimum Seismic’s many years of experience and leadership in both sustainability and resilience to natural disasters will be of value to our area businesses and our entire community,” Diaz added.

“Optimum Seismic’s Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer Ali Sahabi, who will be joining the Chamber’s Board of Directors, has previously been honored with the California Governor’s Environmental and Economic Leadership award for taking a sustainable approach toward the community development and environmental restoration in the Dos Lagos mixed-use development in the City of Corona.”

“Optimum Seismic is very impressed by the cooperative relationship between the Chamber of Commerce and the City of Culver City.  By working together to focus support for making the entire community safer from natural hazards such as earthquakes, Culver City is showing itself to be a model of cooperation between the public and private sector.  We look forward to continuing to be involved in this community in the years ahead,” says Sahabi.
