The Greater Federal Way Chamber honored three businesses with Impact Awards during its annual Gala on Nov. 14.

“The Impact Awards recognize leadership in the region,” said CEO Rebecca Martin. “Commerce is the foundation for success in our business corridor and the 2015 recipients of the Impact Awards demonstrate their commitment to economic growth.”

The 2015 award recipients were St. Francis Hospital, which received the Business Impact Award; the Federal Way Farmer’s Market that received the Community Impact Award; and the Northwest Seaport Alliance received the Regional Impact Award.

“Business connection is of paramount to us at the Chamber,” said board President Lisa Skari, Highline College. “These three business organizations clearly set the pace for business success in our area.”

The Business Impact Award recognizes leadership in providing unique opportunities for business growth through economic initiatives, participation in community and business projects, and a commitment to enhancing economic growth in the region.
