The Moreno Valley Chamber of Commerce has been recognizing Moreno Valley’s superior small, medium, and large businesses and their leaders through its Annual Installation and Awards Ceremony for many years. Organizations are judged on their community involvement and ethical business practices, with winners selected in three categories: small business; medium business, and large business. A fourth category, Citizen of the Year was awarded to Gary Baugh. Baugh is also a Director on the Board of Visterra Credit Union.
