Honoring Leadership in Los Angeles

by Maria S. Salinas

When it comes to business leadership in the L.A. region, we owe much to those who work tirelessly for the betterment of our community. In the Chamber's 134th year in Los Angeles, we are excited to celebrate distinguished business leaders for their exemplary achievements at our annual Inaugural Dinner celebration, themed Resilience, Growth, and Transformation.   

We are pleased to recognize Kaiser Permanente with the Corporate Leadership Award. Under the extreme challenges of the pandemic, Kaiser Permanente stayed true to their values and mission to expertly care for their members and patients while uplifting the health of the community they serve. Their work in keeping our communities healthy had a profound impact on patients and the thousands of employees that met the challenge every day.  

The Civic Medal of Honor will be presented to Linda Griego for her incomparable civic leadership, business acumen, dedication to community, and public service. As the founder and vice chair of the MLK Community Health Foundation, entrepreneur, corporate board member, and as a lifelong public servant, she is a model contributor to the community. 

 
The Distinguished Business Leader Award is presented to E. Stanley Kroenke for his work in making Los Angeles a global sports and entertainment destination. By ensuring the global entertainment spotlight remains in Los Angeles, he further ensures that L.A. remains a sports entertainment powerhouse. Mr. Kroenke’s work has transformed sports and entertainment in Los Angeles, making the region a global destination.
