Association of Washington Business honors Chamber with prestigious 2003 Community Service Award

The winners of the 2003 Community Service Awards made significant contributions in community beautification, education, helping people in need, developing projects that mobilize people into action, volunteerism and working with youth.
The Chamber was honored for the culmination of a ten year project that brought diverse communities and cultures together in a series of history-making partnerships and collaborative ventures to rebuild a dying organization and create a regional, state of the art facility that now serves the needs of local, county, and statewide communities. The facility combines the talent and resources of multiple governments, business communities, labor, civic, and education leaders, youth, elders, churches, and citizens at large to provide an innovative and unprecedented ability to serve all segments of the communities it represents, as well its members.
The $320,000 facility was funded through governmenst grants, tribal community impact funds, and contributions of materials, labor and cash from business, labor, and service organizations. The new Chamber and its facility is inspiring partnerships and mobilizing all segments of the community into action on behalf of the whole.
Crown Distributing and The Everett Clinic were the only other two winners from Snohomish County. Crown was honored for implementing programs designed to encourage safety and discourage teenage drinking and driving. The Evertt Clinic was honored for its support of non-profit organizations, including the contributions of the Everett Clinic Foundation.
