Welcome Welcome to the 2015 Miss and Mrs. Washington International Pageant! This year marks another exciting year for the Northwest International Pageants Organization as we celebrate the addition of Miss Washington International to our pageant family! The extension of our organization to Miss Washington International is so exciting! The dynamic that these incredible young women bring to the organization breathes fresh air into our program. Also, as winners of “Directors of the Year” at the 2014 Mrs. International Pageant, we know we are doing a lot of things right here in Washington State. As we continue to grow, embrace technology to connect with our community, supporter, sponsors and advertisers, we can continue to believe that the future of our organization remains bright… As I reflect upon or Organization year after year, my see that my life is made richer by the individuals in this organization:

Elizabeth Gibbons Mrs. WA Int’l 2012; 2015 Executive Producer

Dr. Erik Suh, our Executive Director, is more than a partner in creating this pageant., he is my cherished friend. Beyond that, he is a father, husband and incredible health provider for his patients at Suh Esthetics and Eastside Primary Care and Wellness. Each year he gives his very limited time to this program AND the titleholders as our Title Sponsor. Of course, I must thank your lovely and hilarious wife, Minnie Suh, who without her support we would not be on this crazy ride together! Misook Voss, our event coordinator, is the master of getting things done. People say, “Give a task to the busiest person you know... they will get it done”. That’s Misook! She embodies excellence is every thing she does. This pageant would not be the same without her efforts. Jennifer McClane, Mrs. Washington International 2014, has had an outstanding year. After a 20 year absence from pageantry, she has worn the crown with distinction and, better yet, personality! She has come to my aid many times without hesitation. Thank you so much for your dedication, passion and, most of all, sense of humor. I had a wonderful time supporting you and Taryn at Mrs. International- especially our nightly “debriefs” which usually meant a glass of wine and a ton of laughs. Jenn, you worked very hard this year and we all appreciate what you have done- you will be missed, but don’t doubt you will continue to serve the Organization. Taryn Stastny, Mrs. Oregon International 2014 will be forever known for her amazing “Disco Ball” gown. I remember at last year’s pageant hearing the guys in the tech booth go absolutely nuts when she took the stage in her evening gown. She had the same reaction at Mrs. International where she represented Oregon beautifully. You have such poise and presence… you wore the crown with grace. While you expand your family this year, we are so proud to have you in our pageant family! Laura Hunter, Mrs. Washington International 2011, makes our graphic design templates and all the contestants look incredible! As our pageant Graphic Artist and Photography Sponsor her talents are second to none. Her continued involvement year after year in creating beautiful images makes us look good too! The 2015 Contestants, you have all worked hard to demonstrate that you are ready for “the job”. We are excited for our future since you have helped us to build it. Congrats on your courage, determination and what we know will be a wonderful show!
