• Living Homes
• The Natural Resources Defense Council
• Pacific Park
• Sheraton Delfina
• Santa Monica College’s TCBY/The Coffee Spot

Judging for the awards will take place in April and winners are scheduled to be honored at the Chamber of Commerce Awards luncheon on May 5 at the Sheraton Delfina. Tickets for the event can be purchased online at www.smchamber.com.
