Annual Investor Appreciation Celebration postponed due to public health concerns

“SBDC Advice has been valuable to our business for multiple reasons. The first and most important has been extraordinary networking assistance, and a willingness and responsiveness uncommon even in the private sector.”

“Great assistance at a detailed level that has been relevant (in) helping my business survive and potentially prosper. (My SBDC advisor’s) knowledge and ability to help and be approachable in a timely way is truly remarkable and made a big positive impact -- way beyond my expectation.”

Annual Investor Appreciation Celebration postponed due to public health concerns

MOUNT VERNON – Due to the persistence of Covid-19 (and particularly the Delta variant) and the ongoing public health threat associated with large indoor gatherings in late 2021, EDASC postponed its annual Investor Appreciation Celebration.

The event, usually held in November, serves as an opportunity to thank the more than 250 Investors who share the values of sustainable and inclusive economic development. It is held at no cost, featuring snacks, drinks, networking and an update from EDASC CEO John Sternlicht on some of the organization’s top accomplishments for the year, all made possible by Investors.

EDASC tentatively plans on resuming the event during the summer of 2022, when an outdoor gathering is more viable.

“We are disappointed to delay this event as it is always a joy to come together to celebrate and enjoy each other’s company,” EDASC CEO John Sternlicht said. “We are looking forward to next summer when we can hopefully hold this event safely outside during a beautiful Skagit summer afternoon.”

Your investment in economic development supports business attraction, retention and expansion, as well as collaborative engagement to achieve a prosperous, sustainable and equitable community. Investment also offers several perks, including unlimited access to the Skagit Job Board.
