It will take place in a unique community space: the Cirque du Soleil’s Grand Chapiteau (Big Top). Attendees will hear first-hand from City Manager Rod Gould and Mayor Pam O’Connor about the current state of Santa Monica and what makes it a model city for the 21st Century.
Again this year, the event will honor individuals and organizations that have contributed to the economic success of our city while demonstrating commitment to Santa Monica’s wellbeing through social, humanitarian, and environmental leadership.
The Economic Excellence Award for 2013/2014 will be presented to Cirque du Soleil, which will show a video highlighting their 30 year history in Santa Monica.
The Community Excellence Award will be presented to Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky.
