Last Thursday, we gathered to celebrate the outstanding achievements of more than 55 local businesses and organizations at the 39th Annual Business Excellence Awards. Our finalists and winners represent the innovation, resilience, dedication, and heart that make the Monterey County business community so exceptional.


A special thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, West Coast Community Bank, and to the MPCC Board of Directors, Ambassadors, Special Events Committee, Chamber staff, and all who helped make this year's celebration possible. Congratulations again to all of our incredible finalists and winners!



Please congratulate these businesses on achieving excellence in their fields next time you see them!

For more than four decades, CHISPA (Community Housing Improvement Systems and Planning Association, Inc.) has worked to create healthy, thriving neighborhoods by expanding access to quality affordable housing throughout the Central Coast. Founded in 1980, CHISPA is the largest private nonprofit housing developer based in Monterey County and has built or renovated more than 2,400 single-family homes and apartments for low- and moderate-income individuals and families across Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz counties.


CHISPA’s impact extends well beyond housing. Through partnerships with local organizations, residents have access to onsite educational, recreational, and community programs ranging from youth activities and summer camps to adult education and senior services. By combining affordable housing with resources that help individuals and families thrive, CHISPA continues its longstanding commitment to building stronger neighborhoods and improving lives throughout our region.
