Around Olympia, people who successfully take on difficult tasks are called Heavy Lifters. Occasionally, there are those who tackle extraordinarily tough projects over long periods of time and prevail.
That’s the case this year. Jim and Fawn Spady, owners of Dick’s Drive-Ins restaurants in Seattle, worked harder than any other education reform activists to pass the state’s charter schools legislation. They received AWB’s Super Heavy Lifter award at AWB’s Governmental Affairs Council retreat last May.
They are joined by Superintendent of Public Instruction Terry Bergeson, who will also receive the rare Super Heavy Lifter honor for her dedication and work to keep education reforms on track. Bergeson was presented with her award at the Policy Summit in September.
There are others who have worked hard for AWB and the employer community this year, and they will receive their Heavy Lifter plaques at the Policy Summit as well.
“These members, along with Superintendent Bergeson, have made a difference. By recognizing them we are expressing our heartfelt gratitude,” AWB President Don Brunell added.
