Stuart was chosen by public vote - after KING 5's Evening Magazine aired video clips of all of our Washington Winners and their achievements, you voted for your favorite. (Evening Magazine videos for all of our Washington Winners are still available to view - click here.)
You can also watch the Jefferson Awards ceremony online if you were unable to attend the breakfast - click here! As always it was an incredibly inspiring program - I know I saw a few teary eyes in the audience! KING 5's videos aired, and all of our Washington winners gave wonderful remarks. It's been a pleasure to work with - and finally get to meet - all of these outstanding individuals!
On Tuesday, Stu appeared on KING 5's New Day Northwest - click here to watch!
Jacobson has been a champion on behalf of children in childcare within Washington state for nearly 19 years. He has worked selflessly and passionately to educate and institute safer childcare throughout the state. His efforts include working to educate parents on health and safety standards and concerns and working with parents, educators, childcare providers and licensors to improve health and safety within Washington childcare centers. His dedication and commitment to children in childcare is best represented his motto "for the sake of the children.” You can learn more about his organization - Washington Parents for Safe Child Care - on their website.
Washington has produced nearly 30 percent of the National Winners since 1972 and is the longest running Jefferson Awards community program in the U.S.
Congratulations, Stu!
