Chamber features Leadership Skagit

Anacortes Chamber of Commerce members heard a presentation Thursday from Leadership Skagit EDASC Foundation Director Kathryn Bennett (left). The luncheon at the Majestic Inn & Spa was sponsored by Andeavor Refinery, represented by External Relations Manager Matt Gill (right). Bennett reported that “Anacortes is the hotspot for community leaders” in terms of participation in the county-wide leadership program (established locally in 2004). She commended the Anacortes Chamber of Commerce and President Stephanie Hamilton for a scholarship program that financially assists one local participant in the 9-month program (call Chamber for details). Gill and several others in the audience are Leadership Skagit alums.
