A Seminole native was honored by the Edmond Area Chamber of Commerce at its 2020 Annual Awards Banquet held March 25.

Matthew Boydstun, son of longtime Seminole County residents Roy and Mary Boydstun, was named the “OU Health Edmond Young Professional of the Year” at the banquet.

Boydstun is the location manager and funeral director at Baggerley Funeral Home. He has been an active member of Edmond Young Professionals since 2014 and served on the EYP Advisory Board for multiple years, including as Chairman in 2019.

Boydstun is involved in other areas of the chamber, including the Board of Advisors and Government Relations Council. He has also participated in the Total Resource Campaign for the last five years and was named Volunteer of the Year in 2017. He is a graduate of Leadership Edmond Class XXXI and continues to be involved with the Leadership Edmond Alumni Council.

Multiple awards were presented at the banquet to honor individuals and local businesses whose civic and professional contributions make an impact on the Edmond community.

Nominations for each award were submitted in December, and the winners were determined by multiple committees of chamber members and volunteers.

“Edmond is fortunate to have citizens who go above and beyond for the community,” said Edmond Chamber President and CEO Sherry Jordan. “We are thrilled to recognize these individuals and businesses who have made a difference in our city, even in the midst of a global pandemic.”
