Yes, Boise and the Treasure Valley are one of the fastest growing areas in the Nation. It is in times of trouble our truest values shine through. Our strength and cohesiveness separate our community from others. We are family. When hardship strikes, we stand together. We are a community that cares for one another. We do not look away. We don’t ask “Why”, we say “How can I help”. Our lives are deeply intertwined with family, beliefs and our ever present recreation. We find owners of lost pets, help stranded drivers, rake our neighbor’s yard, carry groceries, buy way too many cookies and help someone unable, with a fresh coat of house paint. We fill our food banks, help our homeless, and support our arts and artist. We always have a smile and are unafraid to meet the eyes of strangers. We welcome.

We care. This is what makes our community special.

If you are in need, please reach out. No problem is too small or large. I am proud to be part of this amazing area.

I am proud to know the people who make up our wonderful patchwork of humanity. The COVID-19 virus has put our lives in an uncertain place. If you have questions or concerns let us know, you have our great community behind you and we will be there for you. You are not alone.

Statewide Commemoration

On March 13, Governor Brad Little and First Lady Teresa Soulen Little joined state leaders, members of the American Association of University Women, Idaho Women in Leadership and the Idaho State Historical Society kicking-off a statewide commemoration of the centennial anniversary of the 19th Amendment by ringing the Justice Bell at the Idaho Capitol.

Mayor McLean’s signing of the proclamation took place at the launch of a year-long commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, with the opening of “Standing Together: Women’s Ongoing Fight for Equality,” a traveling exhibit developed by the National Women’s Party and put on by the Boise City Department of Arts & History. The exhibit explores the impact of the 1920 passage of the amendment and the issues still confronting the women’s rights movement today. The installation—which is free and open to the public—will be on view in the Boise City Hall Lobby through September 2020 during regular hours.

Idaho Women in Leadership and the Idaho State Historical Society are leading this initiative by convening organizations throughout the state to honor Idaho’s early role in the women’s suffrage movement and shape the future of women’s leadership in Idaho.

Through their collective efforts, they are recognizing and celebrating the influence of women in Idaho over the past 100 years and their contributions to the political, cultural, economic, academic, social, and civic fields. Key to their initiative is to create a framework that will allow their partners and the public to highlight notable women in the movement throughout Idaho’s past and present.

MEET MAYOR BOISE’S FIRST FEMALE ELECTED MAYOR EMBRACES SOLIDARITY IN COMMUNITY

ARTICLE KRISTEN LYNCH PHOTOGRAPHY CHARLES KNOWLES, LAUREN MCLEAN, CS NAFZGER

LAUREN MCLEAN

Boise Lifestyle | May 2020

“A LEADER IS BEST WHEN PEOPLE BARELY KNOW HE EXISTS, WHEN HIS WORK IS DONE, HIS AIM FULFILLED, THEY WILL SAY: WE DID IT OURSELVES.” Lao Tzu In many ways, the ancient Chinese philosopher and Boise’s new mayor share a similar perspective in their sense of community.

After all, a community is more than a zip code or the location of the local post office.

A community is a collective of shared concerns and connections, a way to draw upon our strengths and character to best serve our mutual needs. Communities also define many of our local customs and culture. And whereas the father of Taoism branched off to teach the ways of virtue and harmony, newly-elected Mayor Lauren McLean brings her focus to where it fits best to serve the community; city leadership.

“I have a strong love of place, response, and shape of community.” McLean says, “I am here to bring a voice to shared values.”

After a hard fought campaign, she beat perennial incumbent Dave Bieter in a nail-biting run-off race. And with this victory, she also gained the title of Boise’s first elected female mayor, a role that she takes with great pride but also mindful responsibility.

Says

McLean,

“[Having]

women

in

leadership, in all levels of government and business, is important. When you have the people that reflect the community in those positions, the solutions will be different, and the processes used will also be different.”

Though McLean has lived in Boise since 1998, her formative years were spent thousands of miles away from the sage and bitterbrush of the Treasure Valley. She was born in Boston, but shortly afterwards her family moved to Texas. During high school, her family left the sprawling city of Houston behind, moving to a small town in upstate New York.

“I was a kid in a giant city and a high school student in a small village.” Says McLean, “So I was able to experience both [places] growing up. Moving to Boise as a young adult felt like a perfect-sized city.”

Her interest in politics and civic events also manifested at a young age. “There were some elections that were very important to me.”

Says McLean. ”When I was in kindergarten,

MEET MAYOR LAUREN MCLEAN (CONTINUED)

I remember being with my mother during the Reagan/ Carter election while she was voting. I also remember when I was leaving Texas, Ann Richards was running for governor and seeing a woman running in a state and position where men dominated, really was impactful.“ While intrigued by politics and observing a changing tide in America’s traditional landscape, there was one person who really shaped that inner wellspring of community service.

“I met Mother Theresa when I was in high school and how she talked about service and community was a direct connection. Talking with her about service, compassion, and purpose left a mark.”

McLean understands first-hand at the importance of her own mark and service to others in Boise’s history.

“Young girls and women in this community can now see themselves in this role…and it is really important that our sons see the same thing, as it will be upon them to create a more equitable workplace together with their female counterparts.”

McLean’s vision for Boise’s future is one that is seen through this lens of community. “As a community we need to address affordable housing, local and regional transportation, and build an economy that creates opportunity for everyone so that our kids and grandkids can build a life in a way that we were able to, as our city continues to grow.”

22

Boise Lifestyle | May 2020

“BOISE’S STRENGTH LIES IN HER PEOPLE, OUR CONNECTION TO EACH OTHER, AND THE PLACE WE HAVE CHOSEN TO LIVE. AND THAT IS IMPORTANT, BECAUSE IT BRINGS A STRONG SENSE OF C OMMUNI T Y.”

Each and every day that the mayor rides her bike to work, this sense of common purpose and passion helps fuel her drive to further Boise’s role in the state.

Says McLean, “Boise’s strength lies in her people, our connection to each other, and the place we have chosen to live. And that is important, because it brings a strong sense of community.”

And challenges? “It’s actually been so fun because to meet all the different employees that work here. To see their commitment to helping me guide our city into the future has been an incredible experience and to be out in the community and recognizing challenges as we continue to grow,” says McLean. “That there are so many people in this community who are committed to helping our city progress and to do it in partnership with me.”

What prompted the foray into politics?

E A T L N TE D WOMEN OF THE TREASURE VALLEY SHARE THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS, THEIR THOUGHTS AND THEIR PROFESSIONAL OBJECTIVES

COLLEEN JENKINS COMMUNITY RELATIONS DIRECTOR, ASPEN VALLEY SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE THE BEST SKILLS THAT YOU BRING TO YOUR JOB? In the last 15 years, I have spent my time working with oncology patients and now, currently [working] with those needing senior/assisted care. To be successful in this type of work, [one needs] a heart for service, the ability to empathize, be compassionate, and extend patience. In addition, [having] an understanding of our community’s culture, people and needs helps me to provide options for those seeking to find solutions.

WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF SUCCESS FOR YOU, PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY? I feel successful when I can take the passion for a thought or idea and be involved in the process of seeing it come to fruition. In contrast, I also feel that I am succeeding if things don’t work out too well and I still keep on moving forward, not allowing defeat to stamp out my fire!

OUTSIDE OF WORK/PROFESSION, DO YOU HAVE SKILLS OR TALENTS THAT MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW ABOUT? I can’t think of anything too newsworthy. However, I can share about a fun challenge that I will be pursuing this year! I turn 60 in July and I have set a goal to begin a journey to experience or learn something new each month for the next year.

WHAT ARE SOME CAUSES YOU CARE ABOUT? I find myself caring more and more about the dignity and value of life itself as I grow older. In my world, this looks like finding ways to overcome barriers of access to healthcare and medication, continuing the fight to find cures for cancer and Alzheimer’s, protecting the sanctity of life in the womb and helping seniors find solutions to the high costs of being “older”.

WHO IS SOMEONE WHOM YOU ADMIRE, AND WHY? For me, Jesus Christ is the very top of my list. Not only did He sacrifice so much for the redemption of mankind, but His example as a human being is everything I would like to emulate. He saw the best in people, giving even the least likely a chance to succeed. If I can have half the generous and loving heart toward others that He shows, then I will be living my best life!

and bringing together great people that make for strong teams.

WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF SUCCESS FOR YOU, PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY? For me, professional

success means that I am fulfilled and happy with the work I do. It doesn’t mean that every day is perfect, but it does mean doing work that matters and improves the lives of others.

Balancing professional success with personal success [will] always be a challenge, but my two daughters complete my life in ways I never thought possible.

OUTSIDE OF WORK/PROFESSION, DO YOU HAVE SKILLS OR TALENTS THAT MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW ABOUT?

I enjoy cooking and I can whip up a mean homemade mac n’ cheese. Even though my kids prefer it out of the box, I’m told mine is pretty good!

WHAT ARE SOME CAUSES YOU CARE ABOUT? My com-

pany does a lot to support nonprofits, including a formal pro-bono program called 100 hours, but personally, I’m passionate about supporting brain cancer research, as well as supporting programs that encourage creating and fostering more opportunities for women in leadership.

WHO IS SOMEONE WHOM YOU ADMIRE, AND WHY? I greatly

admire the ultra-talented and kind group of women and men that I work with. They bring passion, talent, initiative, respect and versatility to work every day, and getting to soak all that up is what keeps me motivated and excited about the future!

JENNIFER STUTHEIT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, EAGLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE THE BEST SKILLS THAT YOU BRING TO YOUR JOB? Love for community connectiveness, doing the best I can at all times, seeing outside the box (big picture), listening to an individual’s needs/ideas, follow through, organization, accepting who I am, loving a collaborative effort and the outcome that rivals the strife.

WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF SUCCESS FOR YOU, PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY? Personal success is knowing that what you are doing is helping you and others lead a better, happier, healthier life. Professional success is enjoying going to work and knowing you’re making a difference.

OUTSIDE OF WORK/PROFESSION, DO YOU HAVE SKILLS OR TALENTS THAT MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW ABOUT? As a child, I rocked the Hula Hoop, so recently I purchased a Hula Hoop. The adult in me said it’d be an added workout tool (which it is), but the inner child is convinced to become a twirling pro again. Let’s just say, it’s a work in progress.

WHAT ARE SOME CAUSES YOU CARE ABOUT? People with disabilities have the same needs we all do: first and foremost, among them is to be treated with dignity and respect.

Making a difference in our backyard, community outreach — whether that’s coming together to help a neighbor whose house burned or to erect a community sports complex.

WHO IS SOMEONE WHOM YOU ADMIRE, AND WHY? I admire people who overcome obstacles or who have to commit. I’ve always really admired commitment, whether it be a commitment to living or a commitment to love. People who commit to a moment. People who are not somewhere else, but in the room with you.

C H R I S T I N A M U R R AY OWNER, SEASON AND TASTE COOKING SCHOOL WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE THE BEST SKILLS THAT YOU BRING TO YOUR JOB? I am extremely lucky to have found a career utilizing my passion for cooking and my love for people. This, coupled with my education, allows me to provide the highest quality recreational cooking classes within the Boise area. I received my classical training from top ranked International Culinary Center, and I have a bachelor’s degree in food politics. Recently, I earned a Culinary Health Education Certificate from Harvard Medical School.

WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF SUCCESS FOR YOU, PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY? Cooking is quickly becoming a lost art. Through cooking classes I want to improve the overall health and happiness of the local community. Owning and operating Season and Taste Cooking school allows me to bring people together around the kitchen table and engage in meaningful conversations.

OUTSIDE OF WORK/PROFESSION, DO YOU HAVE SKILLS OR TALENTS THAT MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ABOUT? I went to Boise State when I was 16, and I received my first bachelor’s degree in Visual Art. I love to do colorful watercolor illustrations lined with black ink. At some point I hope to write recipes using only watercolor and ink illustrations.

WHAT ARE SOME CAUSES YOU CARE ABOUT? Food waste and food insecurity are two issues that I am extremely passionate about that go hand-in-hand. I am a board member and volunteer Chef Educator for Idaho Hunger Relief Taskforce. I am trying to provide incremental improvements by working with the local populations.

WHO IS SOMEONE YOU ADMIRE AND WHY? I would have to say Chef Alice Waters. She is the pioneer of the far- to-table movement in California. She created a program called Edible Schoolyards, a hands-on educational experience for children utilizing the garden, kitchen and cafeteria. This garden and kitchen connection instills healthy lifestyle changes.

MARY BETH CHANDLER GUEST RELATIONS, CHANDLER RESTAURANT

WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE THE BEST SKILLS THAT YOU BRING TO YOUR JOB? My job is broad in community relations, guest relations and special events categories, whereby I respond to our guests through social media posts, assist with fundraising, as well as plan special events at our restaurants.

OUTSIDE OF WORK/PROFESSION, DO YOU HAVE SKILLS OR TALENTS THAT MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW ABOUT? I love to golf and travel, particularly intertwined. I take pride in all my projects, whether it’s entertaining at home or chairing a fundraising gala, and I love the challenge of learning new things.

WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF SUCCESS FOR YOU, PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY? Success is a balance of work and play with sprinkles of self care, active listening skills and patience. Knowing when to delegate and where to address an audience, I have come to learn that ALL people are related.

WHAT ARE SOME CAUSES YOU CARE ABOUT? I genuinely have considerable interest in sustainability and eradicating pollution in our oceans. I am very passionate about personal wellbeing as well as climate control. While we support numerous charitable organizations, I have a special place in my heart for Idaho’s neglected youth.

WHO IS SOMEONE WHOM YOU ADMIRE, AND WHY? WOW! Need I be so obvious as to say, my husband? It’s true! The more I watch him on a daily basis, the more I fall in love with his passion, dedication and self-learned quest for business savvy and success.
