The California City Management Foundation hosted the 2024 Annual Member Appreciation Dinner at Hotel Roosevelt in Hollywood. This year’s event was on February 8, and nearly 300 members and sponsors were in attendance.

Every year, CCMF hosts this dinner event concurrently with the League of California Cities City Managers Conference. It was a night filled with friendship, camaraderie and awards with the people and firms that support the city management profession.

CCMF President Ken Striplin presented CCMF’s 2024 City Manager of the Year Award to Karen Pinkos of El Cerrito, and the 2024 Corporate Sponsor of the Year award to Raymond James.

Thank you to CCMF’s Premier and Foundation Circle sponsors for making the 2024 Annual Member Appreciation Dinner such a success. Your ongoing support allows us to continue offering valuable networking opportunities and resources to our valued members.
