The company employs over 1,000 year-round employees and sales exceed $80 million annually. Bob’s civic work has included serving as chair of the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, Executive Board Officer of the Chief Seattle Council, and a lead role on the design committee for Seattle’s waterfront renewal which he has helped to shepherd for the past 11 years.  He has served on a variety of other civic and business boards and played a key role in helping to make Seattle a city worth living and working in.  Join us as we honor this fantastic community leader.
