Summit Awards!
On Tuesday March 18th the Summit Awards were presented at the annual awards banquet held at the Northwest Festivals & Events Conference. Congratulations to all of the winners, here is the list:
Volunteer of the Year Frank Sebastian-Seafair
Frank Sebastian was selected as the Volunteer of the Year at the annual awards banquet at the Northwest Festivals & Events Conference. Frank is an extraordinary volunteer who leads the Seafair Key Bank Air Show volunteer committee, logistics and safety operations. Frank also has taken the lead in coordinating emergency services with the 17+ private and government agencies that support the Seafair Hydroplane Race and Air Show. On the Air Show Frank has created a team of 80 volunteers that manage every aspect of the Air Show. His leadership and effective communication allows his teams to work together seamlessly while allowing team leaders the authority to make decisions pre event and on site. This has made Seafair a desired location for military and civilian pilots to fly each Air Show season. Frank's attention to detail and commitment to quality has made the safety and legal obligations for the Air Show go smoothly each year.
When Frank wears Seafair's Emergency Services hat he shares his work with the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA to help Seafair staff-volunteers create better emergency planning and coordination. The relationships he has cultivated between supporting agencies and the event team have improved public safety and created a more efficient, thorough planning process. Seafair is grateful to Frank Sebastian for his commitment to Seafair and the tremendous impact he has on the festival's success! Congratulations Frank!
