OLYMPIA—The Association of Washington Business is proud to present the 2007 C. David Gordon Award to Dr. ChangMook Sohn.
Dr. Sohn has been the executive director of the Washington State Economic and Revenue Forecast Council since the council’s founding in 1984. "More than anyone else, Dr. Sohn brought integrity, accuracy and a viable process to state revenue forecasting," said AWB President Don Brunell. "His forecasts have been incredibly accurate."
In addition to providing economic forecasts for the state, Dr. Sohn visits South Korea regularly and strongly supports Washington’s international trade goals. In October of 2006, he accompanied Gov. Chris Gregoire and Don Brunell on a trade mission to South Korea and Taiwan.
"Dr. Sohn is a highly respected professional who has been a great emissary for the state of Washington," said Brunell. "He is highly respected in his native South Korea, and we are very fortunate to have him as part of our state government."
The Gordon Award is AWB’s highest award for outstanding civic achievement. The award recognizes state leaders who have provided outstanding leadership and made a difference in public service to our state. Past recipients of the C. David Gordon Award include former Sen. Jeanette Hayner, R-Walla Walla (2006) and Maj. Gen. Timothy Lowenberg (2005). The first C. David Gordon Award, presented in 2004, was shared by Gordon, former president of AWB, and his close advisor C. Lee Coulter. Dr. Sohn was honored during AWB’s annual Spring Dinner in Spokane on May 22.
