Over on EDCO’s website they’ve pinged some news about local companies RuffWear and G5 Search Marketing:

Outside magazine names G5 Search Marketing and Ruff Wear to 50 “Best Places to Work” list in the U.S.
Snag the May issue of Outside Magazine (available on newsstands April 20) to check out its third annual “Best Places to Work” list. Outside partners with the Outdoor Industry Association and Best Companies Group to find the ultimate work environment. The process involves a year-long selection search to identify the best for-profit and non profit organizations with 15+ employees, then participating companies are sent confidential employee-satisfaction surveys and employer-questionnaires about company policies. Of the 50 selected, Ruffwear ranked No. 41 and G5 No. 42.

Kind of refreshing to see a magazine not just promoting Bend as "the next big thing" or whatever; but to get two companies on the top 50 in the U.S. seems pretty impressive. Big congrats to RuffWear and G5; keep up the good work.
