Last year the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce set its sights on the stars.
This year, we're going even farther, taking to the skies to celebrate the accomplishments of our standout companies, including ViaSat, which successfully launched a communications satellite last year, and California Pacific Airlines, which expects to run air service out of McClellan-Palomar Airport this year.
The Sky is Limitless has been selected as the theme of the 2012 Annual Business Awards Dinner, the Chamber's yearly awards ceremony and installation dinner, which will be held at a new venue, the La Costa Resort and Spa, on Friday, Feb. 17.
"The theme of this event emphasizes that anything is possible when a group of people get together and decide they're going to challenge themselves and reach new heights," said Toni Padron, the Chamber's executive vice president and chief operating officer.
Help the Chamber honor the companies and community leaders that set their sights beyond the horizon by purchasing tickets to the event, or by letting us know of the people and businesses that are worthy of recognition.
The deadline for nominations has been extended to Jan. 10.
The Chamber will select winners in the following categories:
• Businessperson of the Year
• Entrepreneur of the Year
• Community Leadership
• Environmental Excellence
• Nonprofit Association of the Year
• Small Business of the Year (1-15 employees)
• Medium Business of the Year (16-99 employees)
• Large Business of the Year (100 or more employees)
• Lifetime Achievement in Business
You can submit nominations on our website at www.carlsbad.org. Self-nominations are also encouraged.
The annual dinner is the Chamber's signature event. More than 500 people, including prominent business leaders, elected officials and community members, will attend the awards dinner.
The event will honor the achievements of the chamber's 2011 board of directors, inaugurate the 2012 leadership team and fire up attendees to reach for ever-increasing heights.
The evening also will feature a cocktail reception, entertainment, culinary delights at our world-renowned resort, the La Costa Resort and Spa, complimentary valet parking and more.
Sponsorship opportunities are available.
