The past year was extremely difficult and the business community faced many challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our San Pedro business community stood together to meet the challenge and help one another survive during these unprecedented times. It is time to celebrate our business community and our recovery efforts as we look forward to better times ahead.
The San Pedro Chamber of Commerce 2021 Annual Business Award honorees all exemplify excellence in business and leadership during the pandemic:
