The television. Movies with sound and in 3-D. The first winter Olympics. The Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce. All of these were a product of the 1920s, a decade that the Chamber of Commerce will honor at its 2014 Annual Business Awards Dinner.
"Spirit of the Twenties: Business is Roaring" will be held at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa on Friday, Feb. 28.
"The 1920s was a great era for new discoveries. It really set the stage for a lot of the things that we take for granted these days," said Toni Padron, Executive Vice President and COO of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce.
"In a lot of ways, we share a lot of common traits with the spirit of that era, the sense of wonderment of scientific discovery, economic advancement and progress. That's the environment that the founders of this Chamber were in, and it's very similar to our situation today."
The Chamber has formed new categories for the awards it presents to showcase Carlsbad's key industries. Awards will be presented in: Information and Communications Technology; Action Sports & Manufacturing; Life Sciences; Hospitality & Leisure; and Clean Technologies.
The nomination period closes on our website (www.carlsbad.org) on Jan. 15. Nominations can come from a number of sources: From the businesses themselves or their employees, business partners or clients. Don't delay, nominate a business today.
The Chamber is also pleased to announce that CBS 8 San Diego-KFMB’s
Dan Cohen will serve as the master of ceremonies for the dinner. Cohen co-anchors CBS News 8 This Morning and CBS News 8 at 11am.
Jump starting his career while still in college, Dan worked for WFLD-TV, Chicago's Fox station. Then came CNWG, a local newschannel in the Atlanta area. Making the move to Florida, Dan hit TV airwaves as a weekend anchor and reporter at WTXL-TV, the ABC affiliate in Tallahassee. Next came CBS News 8 right here in San Diego and a return to the Golden State. He is a three-time Emmy Award winner.
"Businesses, large AND small, are the lifeblood of our community! One cannot be strong without the other," Cohen said. "For over 90 years, the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce has been a dynamic influential force for business. It's my honor to help recognize the business people who serve as the North County's economic engine!"
The Annual Business Awards Dinner has a reputation as a must-attend event for the area's business and community leaders, making it Carlsbad's largest celebration of business, entrepreneurship and success. No details are spared to make the evening glamorous and inviting. We have many surprises this year, so stay tuned.
