Greater Coachella Valley Chamber of Commerce 2021 Business Awards Dinner and Annual Meeting at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, Indian Wells.
The Greater Coachella Valley Chamber of Commerce event was inspiring. This year’s event theme was “Journey to the Valley of Boom”, uncovering the future of business in our Coachella Valley.
The location was the beautiful Renaissance Indian Wells Resort & Spa. There was a cocktail reception and silent auction, dinner, and awards show. The awards recognized professionals in the category of Small Business, Large Business, Non-Profit, Leadership, and the inaugural “Patrick E. Swarthout Business Advocate Award”, and the prestigious “Chairman John A. James Lifetime Achievement Award”.
It was a fun night to mingle with great minds in our Valley and I gained inspiration of what our own Cathedral City can strive towards.
