Paul Avolio To Be Named Goleta’s Entrepreneur of the Year
Goleta Valley Chamber of Commerce Names Latitude 34 Technologies Founder for 2010
The Goleta Valley Chamber of Commerce will celebrate community this Thursday, from 5 to 7 p.m., at Bacara Resort & Spa with the event “Goleta’s Finest,” which honors Goleta’s business leaders. Paul Avolio, founder and president of Latitude 34 Technologies, will be honored as Entrepreneur of the Year.
In 2010, Avolio distinguished himself in the Goleta business community by growing Latitude 34’s client base by 30 percent–including landing several new computer support contracts, and being chosen as the keynote speaker at a National Association of Women Business Owners event. He also was selected for a seat on two local nonprofit boards of directors.
Previous to the Goleta Valley Chamber of Commerce accolade, Mr. Avolio was named to the Pacific Coast Business Times “40 under 40” list in 2009 and was Entrepreneur of the Year for the Santa Barbara Technology and Industry Association in 2008. He also is very active in many community events.
