During the 100th Presidents Installation we inducted The Executives Association of Long Beach's new president Jack Skovgard of United American Mortgage. During the installation we also recognized 7 our previous presidents including our most recent outgoing president Tom DiLeo of Mutual of Omaha. We also recognized our longest tenured businesses and members, some as early as 13 years ago and our oldest tenured members have been part of the EALB for 46 years!
We inducted our new board members for the 2023-2024 year which includes , Dave Sakamoto of Farmers & Merchants Bank, Vinny Bunting of CH Topping Brakes, , Miguel Garcia of Mikes Auto Collision, Mary Loos of Bixby Neighbors, Tim Johnson of Thomson AC, Brian Ramsey of TLD Law, Michael Shafer of Edward Jones
Sumer Temple, Daughter of our late distinguished member Don Temple presented this year’s Executive Association of Long Beach Don Temple award to Mary Loos of Bixby Neighbors.
Today was about inducting our new president Jack Skovgard. Jack has been a member since 2018 and has served on our Board of Directors. His goal for his presidency is for our association to continue to grow. Jack also is thinking of our current members and is finding new ways to bring more value to the EALB.
Thank you everyone who attended this year’s installation. Tom, you have the full support of the Execs and we are excited to see what you achieve for 2022-2023 and beyond. .
