Legacy of Leadership Gala

September 16, 2023 5:30 PM - 9:30 PM (PDT)

Description

The Salinas Valley Chamber of Commerce is having its annual Legacy of Leadership Gala. It is scheduled for Saturday, September 16th, 2023, from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM, at the Salinas Police Activities League (SPAL) Center.

This highly anticipated event aims to recognize and celebrate exceptional individuals and businesses who have made significant positive contributions to our community. The Legacy of Leadership Awards presents an award to a select few, who have demonstrated exemplary leadership and dedication to improving the lives of others in the Salinas Valley for the following categories:

“Young Professional of the Year” Honoree - Jose Luis Barajas

Jose Luis, a local of Salinas, actively engages in community events and organizations, having attended local schools and coming from a family with a 15-year-old business in East Salinas. As a Program Analyst at the Monterey County Business Council, he drives growth initiatives, including the Black Business Owners Summit and Salinas Valley Pride Celebrations. He's a Committee Member for the city's General Plan Update Steering Committee, advocating for fair development, and serves on the Measure E Oversight Committee, overseeing around $10 million in annual tax funds for Salinas. Additionally, as President of the Salinas Valley Young Professionals Organization, he leads efforts to cultivate and uplift the next generation of professionals.


“Outstanding Minority-Owned Business” Honoree - Soria Contracting and Solutions
Soria Contracting and Solutions, a local family-owned property damage restoration business, boasts a decade of experience, offering top-tier workmanship, attention to detail, and empathy during crises. As committed Salinas natives, we uphold values of integrity, teamwork, philanthropy, and discipline, actively contributing to the community. Our support extends to events like the Salinas California Rodeo, Monterey County Veteran’s Day Parade, NHORA Monterey County, and Wonderwood Ranch. Armando Soria, the owner, engages extensively, serving the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and holding positions in Alisal Rotary Club and Salinas Chamber Foundation, bridging cultures and cherishing diversity as a first-generation Mexican American.


“Distinguished Business Innovation” Honoree - Vistra

In 2019, Vistra purchased the Moss Landing power plant and transformed its outdated power generation into battery storage. Recently, Vistra announced the expansion of the Moss Landing Energy Storage Facility, the largest of its kind in the world. Vistra is a market leader in battery energy storage, completing the 350 MW/1,400 MWh Phase III expansion, reaching a total capacity of 750 MW/3,000 MWh. This expansion began on June 2, providing power to California's grid under a 15-year agreement with PG&E from August 1. Committed to affordability and sustainability, Vistra plans to buy Energy Harbor's 4,000-MW nuclear fleet, aiming to become the second-largest operator of competitive nuclear power in the US. Amidst this growth, Vistra maintains a flexible power fleet for reliable energy during the transition to low-carbon resources.


“Business Philanthropy” Honoree - California Water Service
Since 1962, California Water Service has been an active member of the Chamber and Salinas and offers clean, safe, and reliable water service. Beyond providing high-quality water, they're dedicated to year-round wildfire mitigation, infrastructure replacements, community grants, and cooperation with local authorities. Their service to the community extends to donations exceeding $90,000 annually for organizations like the Boys and Girls Club of Monterey County, Harmony at Home, Dorothy’s Place, and more. California Water Service also runs initiatives like Operation Gobble, supplying Thanksgiving turkeys. California Water Services actively collaborates with the Salinas Valley Chamber through its signature events and encourages employee participation in volunteering at community events such as Food and Wine Festival, Relay for Life, and Monterey County Fair.

The Legacy of Leadership Gala promises an unforgettable experience for all attendees. There will also be entertainment, an auction showcasing an array of unique items and experiences up for bid. The Legacy of Leadership Gala promises to be an evening of celebration, appreciation, and recognition, as we honor those who have dedicated their time, energy, and talents to the betterment of our community.
