The Thurston County Chamber proudly announces the annual Boss of the Year Recognition and Celebration. Co-presented by Express Employment Professionals, this award recognizes outstanding individuals who demonstrate exceptional leadership in the workplace through innovation, communication, vision and performance.
“For over 10 years, we’ve recognized outstanding leaders in the workplace. This award is unique because nominations come from the leaders’ direct reports. In the lab of actual workplaces, around 25 students from Saint Martin’s University are examining a dozen finalists to uncover what makes these bosses excel in leading their teams. The student’s analysis is incorporated into the 2022 Boss of the Year Awards selection process,” says Reid Bates, Owner of Express Employment Professionals.
