MSI CEO Receives Corporate Citizen of the Year Award from Orange Chamber of Commerce

Manu Shah, CEO of M S International Inc. in Orange County received the “Corporate Citizen of the Year” award from the Orange Chamber of Commerce during the State of the City. Gaddi Vasquez, former United Nations ambassador, presented the award to Shah.

State of the City is an annual event hosted by the Orange Chamber of Commerce where the Mayor of the City of Orange presents the annual report to the business community.

This is the first time that the City of Orange’s Chamber of Commerce will be giving this award. “The Citizens of the Year committee (which is comprised of past Citizens of the Year awardees) were highly impressed by Mr. Manu Shah and felt compelled to create a new award that would better fit his accomplishments,” says Elizabeth Holloman, the executive director of Orange Chamber of Commerce.

The Corporate Citizen of the Year award is a highly coveted award given to corporate leaders who have made a significant impact on the City of Orange in terms of job creation, revenue generation and social impact.

M S International employs over 500 people in Orange and has established itself as the largest distributor of home improvement materials in the city. Manu Shah and his family support non-profits such as Habitat for Humanity, United Cerebral Palsy of OC, Pretend City, Orangewood Foundation, Orange Senior Center and many more.
