In recognition of their outstanding business performance and community efforts, co-owners Jim and Karen O’Connell accepted the SBA 2020 Veteran-owned Business of the Year award from the Valley Sierra Small Business Development Center (SBDC). “We’re both honored and proud to receive this recognition,” said Jim. “We’ve been serving Northern California for nearly 40 years, and dedicated to helping our clients.”

“This yearly event recognizes the critical impact small businesses have on our local economies and celebrates the outstanding accomplishments made by each of our award recipients,” says Valley Sierra SBDC Director Katy Winders. “Hotsy Pacific’s achievements exemplify the entrepreneurial spirit that is a hallmark of the U.S.”
