On the ground, there are surely non-C-suite people who make sure the day-to-day runs smoothly and fill a niche that few others can – and it’s high time we recognize their contributions to the Los Angeles business landscape.
Click here and let us know who in your organization makes sure you can keep the entire operation on the level, who ensures the success that it has.

The link between Los Angeles and Arizona continues to bolster this month.
This time, Biola University in La Mirada is building the branch, with its now-approved acquisition of the assets of Phoenix Seminary. The private Christian university will integrate those facilities into its Talbot School of Theology, thus creating Talbot Seminary Phoenix.
“The shared commitment between Biola University and Phoenix Seminary to serve churches through strengthening evangelical theological education in the Valley and the Southwest makes this agreement especially meaningful,” said Biola President Barry Corey in a statement. “For more than a century, Biola University has prepared students to be a faithful and influential witness in the world for the cause of Christ. Through this acquisition, Biola University and Talbot School of Theology seek to honor and carry forward Phoenix Seminary’s established legacy while investing in its future for generations to come.”
The move will position the Talbot school to becoming a “leading presence for theological education in the two largest metropolitan areas west of the Rocky Mountains,” according to the university.
