The Rotary Club of Ojai is proud to present the 2026 Fred Clapp Memorial Business Ethics Award to Chelsea Sutula, CEO and founder of Sespe Creek Collective. Awarded at the club's April 17 meeting at the Aquinas Center, the honor recognizes Sutula's optimistic spirit, fierce integrity, and deep roots in the Ojai community. Under her leadership, Sespe Creek has become a Certified Green Business and the first Sun+Earth certified dispensary in the region — proof that doing right by your staff, your customers, and the planet is good business. A grand juror, animal welfare advocate, and eight-time Gold winner for Best Dispensary in the OVN's "Best of Ojai," Sutula is exactly the kind of neighbor Rotary loves to celebrate. The Fred Clapp Award is presented annually to a non-Rotarian Ojai Valley business owner whose commitment to ethical service embodies Rotary's "Service Above Self" motto.
