Virtual Awards Ceremony

Northrim Bank and the Anchorage Daily News are proud to host Achievement in Business Leadership, the special recognition program for talented business and nonprofit leaders throughout our state.

Honorees were selected for consistently demonstrating strong leadership, integrity, values, commitment to excellence and diversity. The selection panel based their criteria on the following areas:

• Leadership and vision
• Competitiveness and innovation
• Company history and growth
• Community leadership and service

We hope you can join us for a virtual awards ceremony at 8:15 am on November 8th to celebrate all of the talented leaders Anchorage has. Keep an eye out for our Honorees to be announced in a commemorative section in the Anchorage Daily News on November 7th.
