PUGET SOUND BUSINESS JOURNAL NAMES ABODA COO STEVE BREDEWEG TO ITS 2006 40 UNDER 40 LIST
(Redmond,WA – September 22, 2006) - ABODA Chief Operating Officer Steve Bredeweg was recognized in the 9-15-06 Puget Sound Business Journal special magazine supplement as among the 40 top Puget Sound executives under 40 years of age making their mark on the local business landscape and the broader community.
“We celebrate young entrepreneurs and rising stars in the local business community who have demonstrated their vision for the region’s business future, business savvy beyond their years, and the passion to take risks and make their dreams happen,” Becky Monk, assistant managing editor for the Puget Sound Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 List explained.
More than 259 individuals were nominated, and 197 of those nominated applied for this recognition. Applications were scrutinized by the panel of eight judges – four 40 Under 40 alumni and four established members of the business community.
Judges examined everything from how long the person has been in business to his or her personal business philosophy and management style. They reviewed how applicants handled their most difficult business decision, and they looked for people who, on a personal level, go the extra mile with civic contributions. All of the winners had to be younger than 40 as of Sept. 30, 2006. Read the complete story about Bredeweg at http://seattle.bizjournals.com/seattle/stories/2006/09/18/focus17.html.
