The Whidbey Bioneers organizing team recognizes that the success of an event this powerful cannot happen without the support of others in our community.
We are currently seeking out and cultivating partnerships to host Whidbey Island Bioneers 2011. Please contact Jerry Millhon by emailing director@whidbeyinstitute.org. if your business or organization would be interested in partnering with us to make Bioneers 2011 a memorable and powerful experience for those who attend.
Here, we are pleased to present our partners from Whidbey Bioneers 2011.
Whidbey Island Bank is based on strong community values and is a bank which invests its financial capital locally. It is a bank that believes its employees are its most valuable asset. Most importantly, the bank provides exceptional level of service, simply by treating people for who they are — our friends and neighbors. We call this style of banking “The Whidbey Way” and, in spite of our island roots, it doesn’t end at the Clinton ferry terminal or at Deception Pass. Whidbey Island Bank has 26 branches throughout 6 counties in northwest Washington.
