Inaugural Servant Award Goes to Local Business Woman

 

Crystal Lake, IL, May 28th 2015—The Inaugural Tom Stock Servant Leadership Award was presented to Katie Van Diggelen, owner of Achieve Footwear and New Balance Crystal Lake, at the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce 75th Annual Dinner Party. The annual dinner is designed to celebrate the history, leadership and success of local businesses leaders. Men and women who dedicate their time to improving their communities.

 

Such a man that embodied those values was the late Tom Stock, passing at 55 years of age. Tom was as dedicated a man as they come, having spent his entire working career at Northwestern Mutual and his personal life with his one love of 30 years, Julie. Religious education, Salvation Army bell ringing, serving on zoning boards, raising funds and volunteering with the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce are just a few of the many ways Tom served his local communities. A person that touched more lives than he likely realized.

 

So too is our award winner Katie. Citied at the event was Katie’s volunteering in the community and helping tirelessly in charity work for; Girls on the Run, Babe Ruth, seniors, veterans, students, park districts, com-munity harvest, raffles, expos, party in the plaza and local library reading programs, as well as a dedicated presence in the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce. Much like Tom, Katie literally does too much to adequately represent the time and energy put into their local communities and all the individuals they help.
