Thurston Chamber Celebrates 2021 Boss of the Year Honorees

Thurston Chamber forum

The Thurston County Chamber is proud to announce the annual Boss of the Year Recognition and Celebration.

“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.

This year, Boss of the Year Honorable Mentions are

2021 Honorable Mentions:

  • Ron Thomas, Thomas Architecture Studios
  • Gergen Robinson and Davina Clardy, John L. Scott Talent Group
  • Harold Carr, Law Offices of Harold Carr

Congratulations to the 2021 Boss of the Year Honorees:
