“Our businesses are the backbone to our community, providing jobs, revenue, sales tax and bed tax which drive our city and pay for our services,” said Anaheim Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Todd Ament. “While we would like to honor all Anaheim businesses and thank them for their services, we have chosen the top companies and individuals who we feel have made a significant impact to the Anaheim community over the past year.”

A selection committee, comprised of 15 representatives from the Anaheim Chamber board, City of Anaheim, Small Business Association, and other local businesses and organizations, selected the award winners from nominations received by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce.
