Each year, the Thurston County Economic Development Council (EDC) acknowledges the significant role that private business and non-profit organizations play in creating a healthy and diverse economy throughout Thurston County.
In March, community leaders nominated ThurstonTalk as the New Business of the Year. During today’s annual meeting, the EDC announced ThurstonTalk as the winner!
“It’s an honor to be recognized by the leaders of Thurston County. I give a tremendous amount of credit for our success to my business partner, Martin McElliott. He has done an outstanding job embracing the vision of ThurstonTalk while executing our strategic business plan,” states ThurstonTalk founder, Dan Jones.
Over the past 18 months, ThurstonTalk has grown to 24 team members, attracting hundreds of local business customers. Rapidly, ThurstonTalk has emerged as a community asset, reaching over 150,000 local views each month. ThurstonTalk is the leader in promoting positive information about people, businesses, and organizations doing good things in Thurston County.
“This is an award recognizing our entire team. I thank them for their dedication and professionalism,” continues Jones.
