May is National Small Business Month, and that is exactly what TSS is. If you’ve been reading along, you know that we started in 1999 with FOUR clients. Our growth has not been overnight and not without the dedication and support of many along the way. It’s fitting during this month of recognition to celebrate our small business awards from years past. We’ve had some great honors, and we are grateful to our peers for selecting us along the way.
- 2004 – Outstanding Community Event – March of Dimes Scrap-A-Thon – Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce
- 2006 – Trailblazer of the Year – Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce
- 2007 – Outstanding Community Event – Ketchikan Health Fair – Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce

These awards represent the hard work of the team at TSS, but also the amazing support we receive from our partners in banking, accounting, legal, and advisors from the Small Business Development Center. Our client base is so valuable in not just doing business with us, but also acting as our eyes and ears in the field. None of this is a one-person show; together, we all win!
Please stand by the small businesses in your community. Your support can have a profound impact.
