LOS ANGELES—The South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) on Friday, Oct. 1 will host its annual Clean Air Awards, honoring individuals and businesses for making significant contributions to cleaner air in the Southland over the past year. More than 400 people are expected to attend the award ceremony.
At a luncheon in downtown Los Angeles to be emceed by CBS 2 and KCAL 9 News meteorologist Henry DiCarlo, AQMD will honor a local mayor, two university professors and a noted actor and activist.
“These honorees represent the best and brightest air quality stewards we have in the region,” said Dennis Yates, mayor of Chino and vice chair of the AQMD Governing Board. “From a local mayor dedicated to improving air quality, to a beloved public television personality who showcases the best our state has to offer, to two local professors on the leading edge of environmental health, we benefit greatly from the work of these individuals and are pleased to honor them.”
