Washington Business Summer 2015 | Page 15

Tom Fritz 1951-2015 We proudly honor the life and legacy of Tom Fritz, a business leader who cared deeply about the health of Washington state and its residents. His vision transformed Inland Northwest Health Services, making it a national leader in the healthcare services industry, and one of the largest employers in Spokane. His vision for AWB was equally ambitious. As vice chair of our board, Tom was enthusiastically leading us into the future. On behalf of the state’s employer community, we acknowledge and are grateful for his many years of service, his wisdom and, especially, his friendship.
