S
CMBDC recognized Southern Cali- fornia Gas Co. and its president and CEO, Michael W. Allman, for their
outstanding leadership in developing and promoting small and minority-owned businesses at the council’s 26th annual Leadership Award dinner. The Leadership Award was presented
to Allman and The Gas Company, a long- time SCMBDC corporate member, at The Beverly Hills Hotel on October 15. The award is given to an individual and/or cor- poration whose achievements and leader- ship in the business community have re- sulted in positive results for small and minority-owned businesses. “For the past 30 years, The Gas Com-
pany has been an outstanding partner of the council’s in advancing minority busi- nesses,” according to SCMBDC President John W. Murray, Jr. “As president and CEO of the company, Michael Allman has continued this tradition of excellence and we are pleased to honor them both with our 2010 Leadership Award.” In accepting the award, Allman said the
company’s procurement of goods and ser- vices “should reflect the diversity of our
customer base and we are proud that near- ly 35% of our 2009 spending was with certified diverse business enterprises -- more than any other California utility.” He accepted the award on behalf of all Gas Company employees who are respon- sible for the company’s supplier diversity achievements. Allman became president of The Gas
Company in March 2010. Previously, he served as president and CEO of Sempra Generation, another subsidiary of Sempra Energy, overseeing the operation of mer- chant power plants throughout North America.
