LAYTON — What do Rooster’s, Sheldon Killpack, Bill Cochran, the Davis Hospital, Bryan Bowles and Sean Slatter have in common?

They were all recipients of an award during Friday night’s Davis Chamber of Commerce Awards Banquet.

The awards banquet was centered around the Legacy Award, won by First National Bank of Layton.

Roosters was awarded the “Unite the Business Community” award and was presented to Kim Buttschardt, the current owner.

Sheldon Killpack, who used to serve as a board member for the former South Davis Chamber of Commerce, was given the “Community Leadership” award.

The “Chamber Advocacy” award was given to Bill Cochran of Weber State University. John Pitt, president of the Davis Chamber of Commerce, said that Cochran “works with so many great people in Davis County; it’s hard to believe he has time to do all of his other duties with the school.”

Davis Hospital was awarded the “Advance Business Prosperity” award. Last year they spent a reported $100 million toward the expansion of their own building, including a three-story patient tower and the county’s first Tomatherapy Center, aimed toward helping with breast cancer.

The hospital also has donated roughly $200,000 to Weber State University and the Davis Applied Technology College in the hope of expanding education toward scholarships, among other things.

Dr. Bryson Bowles was given the “Sustaining a Vibrant Economy” award. The Davis School District Superintendent has done plenty of work in order to keep the schools in Davis County one of the best in the nation.

According to Todd Weiler, former Chamber Chair and presenter of the award, schools in Davis County have the highest graduation rate in any of the top 100 school districts in the nation.

“It really shows the work that he has put forth in making the education in this county the best possible,” said Weiler.

The final award, called “The Chair’s Choice” award, was given to Sean Slatter of Logistics Specialties Inc. of Clearfield.

The company itself started in Davis County around 1970, proving itself to be a prominent service company by winning over contracts for other companies, including Hill Air Force Base.

“They’ve been known to have an 85 percent completion rate among the contracts they enter into,” said Weiler. “And Slatter has shown that he is able to lead a company such as LSI in the right direction.”
