Coro’s mission is to strengthen the democratic process by preparing individuals for effective and ethical civic leadership. For over 75 years, Coro has trained thousands of leaders in cross-sector, nonpartisan, collaborative problem-solving, with alumni serving in every sector and in all professions.
Every year, we recognize visionary leaders for their transformative impact in and across Southern California at our Annual Crystal Eagle Awards Gala. While we’ve had to pivot from our usual in-person gathering, we want to make sure we continue our cherished tradition of honoring civic leaders and celebrating our alumni community, because courageous leadership and being together — whether in-person or virtually — has never felt more important.
We’re excited to share that our 2021 Gala will be celebrated in two parts: a virtual Gala in May where we will recognize our honorees’ impact and celebrate our alumni community, and an exclusive, limited capacity outdoor event in September 2021 with our Gala honorees and other key Southern California influencers (contingent upon LA public health mandates). As an additional tribute to our honorees, we will be featuring each of their voices leading up to the May event in our Leadership and Resilience in Times of Uncertainty webinar series. Stay tuned for more information!
