Thanks to our Sponsors “Le Cirque” Awards Gala/Casino Party—A Success!

By Jocelle Maliwanag, MBA

The Social Committee pulled off another spectacular Awards Gala on November 12 at the JW Marriott at L.A. Live. This location is a new level of luxury that offered an unbeatable venue in the heart of Los Angeles. The ballroom was opulent and set the perfect stage for our dinner, awards, casino tables, dance floor and live entertainment. The committee carried out a Cirque du Soleil theme with aerialists and stilt walkers, beautiful centerpieces and décor. More than 280 CAI-GLAC members and industry friends celebrated Industry Excellence Award recipients. Our host, Barry Tropp (First Service Residential, AAMC) assisted by Chapter President Alexandria Pollock entertained the audience while past recipients presented the awards. Activities during the evening included a cocktail hour, champagne wall, dinner, awards, and live entertainment, followed by dancing, casino tables, and raffles.
