Previous Honoree's

Cornerstone Award

     Similar to the cornerstone of a building, which provides stability and support, a cornerstone award recognizes individuals or organizations that have made an indelible impact, laying the groundwork for progress and innovation.

Innovation Award

An innovation award signifies not only the recognition of the recipient’s ingenuity but also serves as a testament to their ability to drive progress and solve complex challenges.

The Sunset Ceremony

AltaSea acknowledges that our campus is located on the traditional lands and waters of the Tongva People; specifically our location is historically the aweeshkone xaa Chaawvetam (Village of Chaawvenga). We also acknowledge the traditional lands and waters of the Chumash, Tataviam, Serrano, Cahuilla, Juaneno and Luiseno Peoples throughout Southern California, where AltaSea partners reside. We pay respect to the traditions, knowledge, past and present of these Indigenous Peoples.
