The Thurston County Chamber is proud to announce the annual Boss of the Year Recognition and Celebration. In partnership with Express Employment Professionals, this award recognizes outstanding individuals who demonstrate exceptional leadership in the workplace through innovation, communication, vision, and performance.
“For over eleven 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 15 students from Saint Martin’s University examined 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 2021 Boss of the Year Awards,” says Reid Bates, Owner at Express Employment Professionals.
Congratulations to the following individuals:
