Simply Mumtaz - Elected Officials Reception at Downtown LA's Coolest Lounge

Simply Mumtaz had the opportunity this past week to produce an Elected Officials Reception recognizing LA's newly and current Public Servants. It was a great networking event with fabulous eats. Below you can see new LA City Attorney Carmen Trutanich welcoming the crowd alongside other LA City Councilmembers, new LA City Controller, LACCD and LAUSD reps.
Getting the "networking" on...

The event was held at J Restaurant & Lounge! If you haven't tried their restaurant or hung out for cocktails - you gotta try it... http://www.jloungela.com/.

In terms of design / event coordination - this event was all about the people - provide good eats, short program and allow the schmooze to happen.
