DuPont, Wash. – March 16, 2012 – “How does your business impact the community?” When asked this question, McClain Insurance Services Inc. of Everett — the Western Washington winner of Better Business Bureau’s 2012 Business of the Year Torch Awards — shared an impressive account of electronics recycling drives, defensive driver classes, Everett Parks and Recreation sponsorships and many other charitable community events.
After BBB reviewed applications and nominations, volunteer judges from third-party community organizations assessed company entries on four key factors: integrity, involvement, innovation and impression. Out of 51 contenders, McClain Insurance Services Inc. — an insurance agency — earned the highest recognition.
“That willingness to go above and beyond the usual day-to-day operations really stands out,” says Robert W.G. Andrew, CEO of BBB serving Alaska, Oregon and Western Washington. “It’s impressive to see so many businesses donating time, money and manpower to make their neighborhoods better.”
