The 2021 Awards of Excellence Gala was held on Friday, November 12 recognizing outstanding individual and team achievements by BOMA Orange County members. Crystal glasses clinked, toasts were made, and laughter filled the hallways of Balboa Bay Club as our largest annual event returned with a bang.
They say the cream rises to the top. And the 2021's Award Winners rose to the occasion. They were recognized amongst a group of exceptional nominees in six categories. Congratulations to all those winners (listed in images below).
Our 2020 President, Karen Flanigan, was recognized for her efforts navigating us through such an unusual year. She and her Board of Directors led the way as BOMA OC pivoted to virtual events & fundraisers, keeping spirits high and members engaged.
2021's return to in-person events also meant a return to the TOBY Awards Program, with Newport Gateway and 4 Hutton moving onto the Regional Level Judging in early 2022. A huge congrats to those teams for your accomplishments and good luck in the regionals!
Outgoing President, Ceri Osborne, was recognized for her tremendous leadership and poise as 2021 was no walk in the park! She led the return to in-person events, encouraged and expanded educational programs, and challenged us all to keep innovating. Incoming President Mike Kent thanked Ceri and presented the self-confessed audiophile with the perfect gift, a Hollywood Night of Music & Glamour!
Congratulations to all nominees & winners and we can't wait 'til next year!
