Costa Mesa Mayor Sandy Genis presented longtime local business leader Janet Krochman with the Mayor’s Award at the Feb. 20 City Council meeting.

“Janet has been actively volunteering in Costa Mesa for years, initially getting involved while supporting her son’s activities at school, Boy Scouts and youth sports,” Mayor Genis said. “Janet’s long list of community involvement includes working with veteran’s groups, non-profit organizations and most recently assisting local businesses mitigate the impact of homeless on their businesses.”

Krochman said she was very touched when she learned she was going to be presented with this award.

“Thank you all very much,” she said. “Hopefully I will have another 40 years in the city and continue to do good things.”
