Mayors Miguel Pulido and John Giles to be Honored at Tribute to Mayors

HONOLULU - EntSun -- The Latino Leaders Network (LLN), a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing leaders together, will convene mayors from across the country to honor Mayor Miguel Pulido of Santa Ana, California with the Antonio Villaraigosa Leadership Award at the 31st Tribute to Mayors reception on Friday, June 28, 2019 at 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Green (2005 Kalia Road Honolulu, Hawaii). Mayor John Giles of Mesa, Arizona will be presented the Chairman's Award.

The Tribute to Mayors is a private event held during the United States Conference of Mayors winter and summer meetings. Attendees will include mayors, as well as elected officials, policy-makers, corporate executives, community leaders, industry experts, and political insiders. The Antonio Villaraigosa Leadership Award is presented to a mayor from a city with a significant Latino population who has exhibited an outstanding commitment to bringing diverse communities together.

First elected in 1994, Mayor Pulido has worked diligently to build a strong and thriving city for a community that has experienced a 60 percent population growth in the last two decades. During his tenure, Santa Ana has seen an increase in home values, a rise in the number of business licenses, an overall revitalization of the city's infrastructure and an expansion in social and culture venues. The city's crime rate has decreased by 64 percent over the last decade and is at its lowest rate since 1963, making Santa Ana the safest city among the 50 most populated cities in the country.
