Annual Meeting and Awards
On June 23rd, the Chamber hosted its 111th Awards Ceremony and Annual Meeting. A capacity crowd of over 350 attended the event held at Oakland’s Convention Center in downtown. Seven award winners were announced: the Golden State Warriors (Oakland on the Map Award), Kaiser Permanente (Deep Roots), Give Something Back Office Supplies (Community Catalyst), Children's Fairyland (Heart of Oakland), as well as two winners for the Tech Oakland Award— Pandora and Clef.
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf was on hand at the event to present the “Secret Sauce Award,” an award given to an organization or individual who contributes to the unquantifiable and unique ingredient to Oakland’s allure. The Mayor presented the award to Attitudinal Healing Connection specifically for their work on the Oakland Super Heroes Mural (OSH) Project, with its goal to cultivate, educate, and engage youth in community issues and solutions through the power of public art.
