Yesterday I traded the office for the golf course to support the Seattle Sports Commission at their annual golf tournament. Corporate and community partners came together for the SOLD OUT WM SSC Open for a great day of networking and golf. Sponsors like Anthony's Restaurants, Les Schwab Tire Centers, Swire Coca-Cola, USA, Sign Dog, and many more were showcased throughout the course at The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge. It’s always fun supporting Sponsorship Marketing Association members! Congratulations Beth Knox and Pamela Quadros, MBA on a successful event!
