Our very own David R. Nilssen has, yet again, been nominated for the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in the Pacific Northwest (see Finalists for Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year(R) 2009 Awards in the Pacific Northwest Announced on CNBC.com).
Congrats David!

Last year’s awards dinner was a blast, and it was amazing to see the wonderful contributions small (well, small-er) businesses in our area have made to the local and global economy.

Nomination for this award is especially gratifying as we work with entrepreneurs every day, providing our Guidant 401k business investment product. It is important for us to keep our entrepreneurial edge, not only to relate to our clients, but to be sure we’ve still got it!

Per Ernst & Young’s press Release:

"Entrepreneurs contribute so much to our economy and the fabric of this nation," said Greg Beams, Ernst & Young LLP Entrepreneur Of The Year Program Director for the Pacific Northwest.

"These finalists help our region create jobs, while encouraging community growth, development and innovation. We are pleased to honor them."

We won’t find out how David did until the awards gala on June 26, 2009, but, in the words of so many actors and actresses: “It’s an honor just to be nominated.”

And we mean it!
