Marysville, WA – Honoring her work in Marysville schools and time spent in the local community, the Snohomish County Camano Association of Realtors© has selected Marysville School District Superintendent, Dr. Becky Berg as their 2016 Citizen of the Year.
Dr. Berg’s nomination comes as a result of her strong advocacy for Marysville students, and her unique ability to see that a child’s success depends on much more than the education provided to them in the classroom. It takes a ‘whole community’ to support the whole child.
More than 1500 members representing companies across Snohomish County and Camano Island dedicate time each year to recognize a non-Relator citizen who works toward the betterment of their local community through public service and private actions.
“Superintendent Berg understands the role local community dynamics and support, family structure, and simple economics play in students’ lives,” said the 2017 President of the Snohomish County Camano Association of Realtors, Natasha Zieroth. “She has made it her goal to help each child by giving them the tools and resources they need to accomplish anything they set their mind to. Dr. Berg also continues to open her door to parents so their voices are heard, and they can work together to build positive change.”
Dr. Berg was honored today at the 2016 Realtor Awards and Installation Luncheon at the Tulalip Resort. Past recipients have included Congresswoman Suzan DelBene, Snohomish County Executive John Lovick, State Representative June Robinson, and Everett City Councilmember and Cocoon House CEO, Cassie Franklin.
