We are thrilled to recognize Kurt Wong, CDFA, as our chapter’s 2020 Star. Chapter Star Awards are announced each year at SDA National’s Annual Meeting. Chapter stars are members who go above and beyond in helping the chapter reach its goals. Kurt has been a member of SDA since 2014, and has served on the chapter’s board for a number of years. He works at Studio Meng Strazza, in project controls. This is what we submitted to National:

Kurt was our membership chair in 2019. During that time, we gained 15 new members, and part of that impressive growth was due to Kurt’s implementation of “coffee chats.” He’d invite people to join him for 1:1 chats, whether it was a prospective member, a new member, or a current member. Kurt’s personal touch resulted in getting to know more about those he met with. In addition to his coffee chats, Kurt had an important role in our quarterly Wine Wednesdays – he served as our wine aficionado. We appreciate Kurt’s quiet determination in helping our chapter grow toward its goals and vision, and his dedication to the Seattle chapter. He is our shining Star!

Congratulations Kurt!
