The Thurston County Chamber is proud to announce 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 ten years, we’ve recognized outstanding leaders in the workplace. What makes this award unique is that nominations come from the leader’s 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 selection process for the 2022 Boss of the Year Awards,” says Reid Bates, Owner at Express Employment Professionals.
This year, Boss of the Year Honorable Mentions are: Austin Sutherland, The Landal Group LLC Carly Colgan, South Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity Jeremy Scott, Lincoln Creek Lumber
Congratulations to the 2022 Boss of the Year Honorees: Elizabeth Cooper, HomeStreet Bank Michael Strub, LOTT Clean Water Alliance Terrence “TJ” O’Reilly, South Sound Behavioral Hospital
