George Burdick Business Award

Life-long Santa Clara resident and local businessman Dave DeLozier is the 2011 recipient of the George Burdick Business Award. Owner of Peterson’s Insurance, DeLozier is the third generation to operate this Santa Clara family business. After more than 30 years of community service, DeLozier continues to be a community dynamo. Currently, DeLozier chairs the City’s Charter Review Committee reviewing the Santa Clara City Council election system-DeLozier’s third Charter Review Committee; and is currently on the Santa Clara Chamber of Commerce’s Government Relations Committee.

George Burdick was a co-founder of the Mission City Community Fund. He also founded Burdick Painting which grew to one of the largest commercial and residential painting companies in the County. George always found time to offer his assistance to the community through clubs, church and volunteer organizations. His reputation was that of a "get it done now the right way" kind of person and was a motto he lived by. The vision and generosity of the Burdick name was a cornerstone in the success of MCCF.

Each year, MCCF now honors a local business which has demonstrated the qualities of community service, philanthropy and constructive contributions to a better way of life for our citizens. This award is presented each year at our annual Dinner Dance, which this year is held at the Santa Clara Convention Center Mission Ballroom.
