An important component of the conference was the issuing of special recognitions to six institutions that have contributed in various ways to the creation of CVIIC and the development which has taken place since its creation in February 2014.

Special recognition to two media partners were presented to Radio Bilingue and Univision Fresno for their consistent and ongoing support to transmit to their respective audiences information about the CVIIC events and issues.

The recipients were the Rosenberg Foundation and Jo Ann Intil and Ed Kissam, trustees of the Werner-Kohnstamm Family Giving Fund.
