• Educator of the Year Award: Rose Hernandez, Gavilan College Faculty
• Volunteer of the Year Award: Louie Sandoval Family
• Special Recognition Award: “Coach” Bob Garcia long time resident and educator at Gavilan College.
In addition, all the awardees received special acknowledgment from State Assemblyman, Honorable Simon Salinas. Congressman, Honorable Mike Honda presented to the Gilroy Hispanic Chamber of Commerce recognition for the contributions and community service the Hispanic Chamber has contributed to the Gilroy community.
