And the winner is…EJ Kim!

EJK Accounting was flattered to have our very own president be honored with the Golden Boot Award at the tSB Luau last Sunday. Between rocking out to Kore Ionz at Nectar Lounge, and enjoying Pai’s food truck, EJ was pleasantly surprised when they announced her name along with two other tSB rock stars as winners of this year’s award. EJ was specifically cited for her dedication to the tSB Board of Directors, and her support in youth activities, fundraising, and sponsorship. Congratulations to EJ, and a shout out to the Service Board for your amazing programs!
