The Mukilteo Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce author, speaker and award-winning entrepreneur Sunny Kobe Cook as their September breakfast meeting speaker.
Sunny Kobe Cook began her career as a secretary and gained nationwide popularity with the company she founded in 1991, Sleep Country USA. She served as both CEO and company spokeswoman in both radio and television advertisements for many years. During that time, she was named Inc. Magazine’s Northwest Woman Entrepreneur of the Year along with numerous other business and corporate good citizen awards. She was featured on the cover of Washington CEO magazine when her company was the first Northwest retailer ever to be recognized as “Best Place to Work.”
Selling her 28-store chain in February 2000 gave Cook the opportunity to publish her first book, “Common Things, Uncommon Ways,” which is now available in stores. In these pages and through the many speeches she makes, she shares with other business people proven ways to improve any business through employee recognition and motivation. Cook will address the Mukilteo Chamber at the Staybridge Suites Hotel in Mukilteo at 7:30 a.m. Sept. 16.
“We are excited to have Sunny Kobe Cook address the Mukilteo Chamber and share her marketing expertise,” said Chamber President Matt Martin. “The Mukilteo Chamber wants to help the local economy rebound and believes that Sunny Kobe Cook can help inspire our members.”
Visitors to the Mukilteo Chamber breakfast are always welcome. Members are $15, nonmembers are $20, which includes networking, speaker and a breakfast buffet.
