Every year the Tualatin Chamber of Commerce hosts an awards ceremony which is a wonderful way to honor the businesses and employees in the area that contribute to our economic prosperity and are involved in the local community, giving back to their favorite charities and non-profits. Back in 2010 I won an award for Outstanding Community Service and it was an honor to be recognized. Here’s a photo of the award winners for 2018:
