The work we do is similar to a local chamber of commerce or board of tourism. But, we do so much more because our vision is to shape the future of our community to ensure it is prosperous, sustainable and thriving. In 2014 we solidified our commitment to the community by maximizing and leveraging our resources to offer 2 part time paid staff positions. This allowed the organization to more efficiently serve the community by increasing our office hours and availability to serve. We were able to double the amount of education events, workshops and classes held for the community. We were also able to fundraise on a larger scale and saw a sizable increase in contributed revenue as well as receiving the first grant opportunity in the history of the organization. The organization continues to rely on its grass roots efforts to build momentum and focus for the community and guarante false false 78648 68695 Community Engagement - We produce, organize and provide logistical support for special events in Burien because we know that an engaged community is an active and healthy community. In 2014 we had over 50 event days and activities with an engagement level of over 100,000 participants. Some of our top events in 2014 included a Best of Burien awards dinner where members of the Burien community were recognized for exemplary service and leadership, a Fathers Day Car Show and our Farmers Market that offers fresh, local and seasonal produce to our community weekly, May-October. We also hold several community education and awareness events annually. 27837 Clean and Safe Streets Program - We employ, year round, a team of special needs individuals to maintain the cleanliness of our downtown core. We are committed to providing education and resources for special needs individuals, to learn practical job skills and safety protocols, while also ensuring a clean downtown core. We know that appearance matters to residents and visitors and that studies show that when a community space is clean and free of trash and graffiti, crime rates also decrease. In 2014 over 5,000 bags of trash were removed as part of this program. 14545 500 52660 Economic Development, Business Retention and Recruitment - We provide education and resources to local business owners and new or perspective business owners because we know a strong local business community is key to the wider success of our community. We promote businesses and offer free marketing to share the best of Burien. In 2014, we held 6 education events that served over 100 of our local business owners and community members. These events along with the resources available from staff at our office and visitor center daily provide entrepreneurs with valuable information such as the importance of business succession planning and on-line marketing. We also served dozens of new businesses as we helped them navigate through permitting processes, financing, and marketing to expand their customer base. We are first and foremost a service organization and we know that through our service of providing education, resources, networking opportunities, as well as marketing and promotion, we are helping to build a community that is prosperous, sustainable and thriving. 121030 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 9 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 20 20 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true false false false false false X Andrea Reay 2064332882 427 SW 152nd Street BURIEN WA 98166 NOEL GIBB President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ERIN COLLINS Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SUZANNE GREIVE Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BRIAN FREDERICK CFP Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LANCE MCINTOSH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DANIEL KEANE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 VIRGINIA WRIGHT Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SHARI COURTIER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HEIDI POMEROY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RON STEINMAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRENT VOLLE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JERROD SESSLER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MATTHEW WENDLAND Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MATT ZIELINSKI Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN WHITE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LYNN COLEMAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JIM HUGHES Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CAROL KOLSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN NELSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT SCHAEFER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREA REAY Executive Dir. 20.00 0.00 X 20000 0 0 20000 0 false false false 0 16663 17000 39980 5353 15000 78996 CARNIVAL DAYS 13448 13448 CLEAN SWEEP 2775 2775 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 52660 52660 FARMERS MARKET 43661 43661 FATHER'S DAY CAR SHOW 4025 4025 4786 4786 121355 0 0 0 0 0 14404 17000 18874 -4470 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 4478 4478 4478 200359 125833 X 0 500 500 0 0 20000 6667 6667 6666 0 38744 30434 8310 0 382 128 127 127 8634 5453 2201 980 0 0 1274 1274 0 0 0 28988 26226 2762 4924 4924 1718 1718 0 0 14113 7057 7056 43 43 0 358 358 0 0 224 224 3874 1937 1937 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EVENTS 28819 28819 INTERNET & WEB EXP 13362 13362 EQUIPMENT RENTAL AND MAINTEN. 10462 10462 OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES EXPENSE 4222 4222 11436 4663 6773 192077 121030 63274 7773 110356 120468 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1260 1250 6568 6202 6568 366 0 0 0 0 0 118184 122084 3316 4912 1 3317 4912 X 114867 117172 114867 117172 118184 122084 X 8282 -5978 1 X false false false X 111284 187510 114400 108023 78996 600213 0 0 111284 187510 114400 108023 78996 600213 0 600213 0 0 0 600213 199484 1.00000 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 5269 5269 1299 933 366 366 false ANNUAL DINNER 31404 17000 14404 5000 13874 31404 17000 14404 5000 13874 18874 -4470 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process THE TREASURER AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REVIEWED THE FORM 990 BEFORE IT WAS FILED.
