Don Marrell Award Winners

The Don Marrell Award – Industry Partner Merit Award

Don Marrel owned and operated La Jolla Lighting for over thirty years and was one of our earliest Industry Partner Members. As far back as those of us who knew him can remember, Don and his staff were always there to support our chapter and members with unparalleled generosity. Working tirelessly, he gave both time and treasure whenever called upon.. To honor his memory and acknowledge his outstanding contributions to our chapter and our industry, an award was established in his name to acknowledge other Industry Partner members, who like Don give outstanding service to our chapter and to the profession.
