Background and Analysis:
Secretary of State Kim Wyman presented Olympia Federal Savings and Loan Associations and four other businesses with the National Association of Secretaries of State Medallion Award during a special ceremony at her office on Monday, December 4. The award recognizes civic engagement, voter education efforts, government services and a commitment to giving back to the community. Honored as Corporations for Communities, the recipients were recognized as extraordinary Washington businesses that give their best efforts in helping their communities.
Olympia Federal Savings was recognized because the organization puts at least five percent of its revenues towards community efforts, and employees receive 16 hours per year of paid volunteer time. Overall they contributed more than $350,000 to over 300 organizations.
The businesses that received the award make their communities better by contributing what they can, and by giving countless number of volunteer hours. These corporations leave a positive impact in the lives of all the individuals they help. The employees and leaders of these corporations show compassion, dedication and selflessness in the act of giving back that makes communities around Washington State better.
Secretary Wyman shared at the event that Washington is fortunate to have so many caring companies that give back to their communities in a variety of ways and this awards program is a great way to recognize companies like Oly Fed that go above and beyond to make a difference.
