The Oxnard Chamber of Commerce is delighted to announce the recipients of the 2008 Community and Business Awards. The selection committee met on May 13 and poured over a record number of nominations. ‘The participation of the community in submitting numerous, quality nominations was magnificent,’ remarked Community & Business Awards Committee Chair Patty Paumier. ‘The selection committee deliberated long and hard to narrow it down to the respective recipients.’
If you have been anywhere around Downtown Oxnard in the past 20 years, you will recognize the infectious smile and gregarious personality of the 2008 Distinguished Citizen of the Year, Pablo Ortiz. He is the face of the annual Salsa Festival as he is the master of ceremonies and the chairman of the event. He has lent his expertise to the Downtown Oxnard Merchants Association and the Downtown Oxnard Management District through service on their boards of directors and marketing committee.
