An Evening with the Mayor

Seen here with members of the business community, BHCC executives and former Mayor Jimmy Delshad.
Re-elected in 2009, the Honorable Barry Brucker is serving his second term as Mayor of Beverly Hills.  Last evening the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce held their annual event for business members and local residents in which the mayor offers his State of the City Address.  Il Fornaio provided the cocktail and hors d'oeuvre reception which was followed by the Address and a Question & Answer Session.  The Mayor's speech focused on the strength of the Beverly Hills economy. Brucker announced promising retail sales, strong hotel occupancy rates, Tishman Speyer’s purchase and plans to renovate the former Hilton headquarters, as well as MGM and Google’s plans to open offices in Beverly Hills.
