The Population Health Trust and its partners are excited to announce that the annual call for nominations for the Skagit Change Maker Award is now open! Inspired by Terry Belcoe?s action-oriented, boundary-crossing, solution-focused community work, and ?do it now? motto, the Change Maker Award honors his life and continues his legacy of supporting the local community by acknowledging members of the community who are making a difference.

?Terry convened people and inspired us to see the strength of speaking with one voice to strengthen our community. As CEO of North Coast Credit Union, he had plenty of work in his day job, but his heart was always about how to go beyond banking to improve peoples? lives in Skagit County,? said County Commissioner Lisa Janicki. ?Terry?s legacy will live on as we applaud those influencers who choose to serve the most needy without seeking recognition.?
