This year the annual event’s Council Awards were tailored to complement the organization’s two-decades-in-service milestone.

These individuals have had significant impact on WBEC South over the years. Among those honored for their service and dedication was Thomasson Company CEO Pat Thomasson, a member of WBEC South since 2008. Earlier this year, Ms. Thomasson was named Mississippi’s 2014 Business Woman of the Year by the Mississippi Business Journal.
