Submitted by Thurston Chamber of Commerce
The Thurston County Chamber of Commerce is seeking nominations for its fifth annual Boss of the Year award. Co-sponsored by Express Employment Professionals, this award recognizes outstanding individuals who demonstrate exceptional leadership in the workplace through innovation, communication, vision, and performance.
“With the challenging economy impacting organizations everywhere, leaders are making the difference between whether an organization barely survives or actually thrives”, said Reid Bates, owner of Express Employment Professionals. “This award is a great way for bosses to be recognized by their teams and the Chamber and for their examples to be shared across the community,” says Bates.
Once again, Saint Martin’s University business students will play an important role in the selection process by interviewing finalists and gathering data for the selection committee. “This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to meet with exceptional business leaders in the community and to also learn more about what truly defines leadership in the workplace,” says Richard Beer, Ph.D., dean of the School of Business.
Nominations for the “Boss of the Year” award will be accepted through October 31st. You may mail, fax or send via email to the Chamber office. The award recipients will be announced on December 10 at the Norman Worthington Center at Saint Martin’s University.
