The Greater California Livery Association (GCLA) wrapped up an incredible year on a high note in 2011 after being faced with so many challenges, according to re-elected President Mark Stewart of Blue Moon Limousines. A major milestone was reached when the GCLA increased overall membership from 140 in 2010 to 225 by December 2011.

The association celebrated last month with a holiday party held at The Proud Bird Restaurant in Los Angeles. Attendees enjoyed dinner, drinks, raffle prizes such as big screen TVs and tablets, as well as tunes from DJ Mark Regan. David Seelinger of EmpireCLS and BeTransported.com was also a special guest at the party. Mark Stewart presented GCLA awards to two members. Jonna Sabroff, co-owner and CEO of Integrated Transportation Services, received the GCLA Lifetime Achievement Award for her 4 years served on the board and playing an instrumental role in helping the association’s legislative issues. Chris Quinn, owner and CEO of CTS Limousine, was honored with the GCLA’s Outstanding Service Award for his leadership contributions to the association.
