Press - CFO Selections in the News

This year the CFO Selections team participated in the inaugural Seattle Tech Gives Back event on Wednesday, October 9th. This large-scale charitable event is a global initiative and launching for the first time here in Seattle.

On May 23^rd, the Corporate Citizenship and Healthy Community Champion Awards luncheon honored local corporate philanthropists and companies who have made significant contributions, which included CFO Selections.

PSBJ also honored eight companies that create and sustain a "Healthy Community" — or a community built on the strong pillars of the Arts, Basic Needs, Economic Opportunity, Education, Environment, Health & Wellness, Neighborhoods & Communities and Global Giving.  Rankings are in the categories of small, medium, and large companies at the luncheon and in the Business Journal Lists.

Larry Numata, from our CFO Selections^® Seattle team, and his daughter Kristen recently attended the 15th Annual Foundations of Science Breakfast. (see photo) Kristen is a wetlands ecologist who got her start at PSC camps and remembers the time she spent at the Mercer Slough. Kristen and many others had the opportunity to experience the hands-on science activities that inspire curious minds of all ages on our campus and throughout the community. They also met members of the Discovery Corps and Lake Washington Watershed Internship youth development programs to learn first-hand about the impact of investments in science education.
