Hello everyone!
If you haven’t heard already, the most significant night you will have this year is on Saturday, September 20th at the State Convention Center.

And for those of you who have not bought your tickets or become sponsors, we welcome you to join us at our 24th Annual Tabor 100 Captains of Industry Gala. It is always a great place to catch up with friends and colleagues, take in words of encouragement and hope, and support an organization working hard to do everything it can to promote your business. We take our motto for 2025 seriously, especially in the current environment: “When the Roots are Deep, There is no Reason to Fear the Storm.” We operate by this creed, and the Gala is a great place to celebrate and support it.

Work is underway to make September 20th a memorable evening. And while it is good for Tabor 100 to sponsor the event – it is the biggest fundraiser of the year for us – it is designed to uplift your spirit, put you in a room with great contacts for business growth, and honor those who have been assets of the community.

You can also network and gain valuable insight and experience by volunteering for the Gala committee, headed by Tabor 100 Executive Board member, Darci Henderson. You can reach her at [email protected] or call her at 206-368-4042.

While the Gala is front and center for us until September 20, Tabor 100 is doing much to help your business grow, and we invite you to come to our Economic Development Center and engage however you see fit.

One of the most valuable resources we offer is our “Partners in Person” Office schedule, where you have the chance to talk with people from 9 state and local agencies on specific days of the week and times of the day. You will get the undivided attention of someone from the City of Seattle, Sound Transit, Department of Enterprise Services, King County, Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises, Office of Equity, Washington Department of Commerce, and the state Department of Transportation.

Because the hours change each month, I suggest you call Tabor 100, and our helpful staff can give you the exact day and time your chosen agency will be at the Economic Development Center. This service is invaluable and can help grow your business in many ways. Call us at 425-528-0114.

Thank you, and don’t forget to get your Gala tickets. It sells out every year!
