The Vancouver Business Journal is proud to announce that Roma Bergstrom has been selected to receive the Kyle W. Corwin Legacy Builder Award. The award recognizes one person annually who has spent their career leading, mentoring, building a business and giving back.
Bergstrom retired from her position as the CEO of Cardinal Associates Inc., d/b/a Bergstrom Nutrition, in 2012. The Vancouver-founded company manufactures and sells nutritional supplements.
A philanthropist by nature, Bergstrom can regularly be spotted at local charitable events. In the early years of Bergstrom Nutrition, she would gather employees to help prepare a roast beef meal for the local Share House. This would eventually earn her the nickname “roast beef lady.”
Additionally, through the local Rotary club, Bergstrom ran a program that provided vitamins to one of Clark County’s elementary schools. She was also involved with the Rotary’s annual Festival of Trees.
Education is paramount in Bergstrom’s mind, and along with her husband, Richard Paz, she established a scholarship fund at Clark College to help fund education for many people for years to come.
Join the business community as we honor Bergstrom and the 20 members of the Accomplished & Under 40 Class of 2013 at a recognition luncheon on Tuesday November 5, 2013 from 11:30 to 1:30 at the Heathman Lodge, in the Fort Vancouver Ballroom.
Seats are limited and going fast, so visit our event page to register.
