iera Graham knew that a college education — her parents preached its value — could take her places.

When Graham attended Chief Sealth International High School in West Seattle, she visited Washington State University in Pullman.

“I wanted to stay local for my undergrad, but I found a very supportive community there,” Graham said.

At WSU Pullman she earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology, and set her sights on a career in education.

Her thirst for knowledge and natural curiosity drove her to continue her studies.

“I never anticipated getting an advanced degree,” Graham said.

In 2015 she received a doctorate in sociology from the University of Cincinnati.

“As a person of color, I believe that the value of

pursuing a college education is immeasurable and helps uplift and improve the socioeconomic standing of my own community,” Graham said.

“With a college education, I am able to serve as a role model to students who may not see college

as a viable option,” she said.

She’s been that role model as a student and, for the last eight years, as a college and university administrator.

A little over a month See GRAHAM, Page 6

ochelle Lubbers knew she was college-bound when she was in the third grade.

“My family are huge University of Washington Husky fans,” Lubbers said. “So, I felt deeply connected at a young age.”

As a teenager, she hit a snag.

“I became a mom three days before I turned 17,” Lubbers said.

Until then, she had been on another less sure path. The birth of her son gave her back her vision.

“Becoming a mother, I had a huge obligation to be the best I could for this new life,” Lubbers said.

Lubbers earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington and a master’s degree in public administration from the University of Oregon.

“I come from a long

line of strong native women who were/are community builders and resilient,” Lubbers wrote in her nomination statement.

Since 2008, she has occupied positions of increasing responsibility for the Tulalip Tribes,

It highlights and celebrates the next generation of people who are doing good work in Snohomish County. In this issue, the Herald Business Journal tells the stories of the finalists, including the top four on pages 4-7. The winner will be named at an event on April 11.

on Nguyen doesn’t like to miss his Saturday visits to Denney Juvenile Justice Center in Everett.

It’s his day off but he arrives at 7 a.m. to check in with the center’s juvenile inmates.

“I spend time with them talking about life and the dreams that they have,” said Nguyen, Youth Initiatives Manager at Workforce Snohomish.

“I also spend a lot of time playing basketball with them, laughing with them, and letting them know there is someone who cares,” he said.

To his great disappointment, Nguyen recently had to cancel his visits.

But he had a good reason: In January, Nguyen was hit by a car in a parking lot.

It’s taken time to heal.

“I’ve never been injured like this,” said Nguyen who is recovering from a concussion. “I’ve had to learn that it’s OK, not being OK.” Nguyen’s challenges were many, a nominator said: “In his youth he grew up alongside

gangs on Casino Road but didn’t let that stop him from dreaming big, graduating from college and dedicating his professional and personal life to supporting youth in our community.”

One of Nguyen’s first opportunities to assist others occurred when he visited Haiti on a church mission.

OLIVIA VANNI / THE HERALD

“I learned what it meant to serve and serve completely,” said Nguyen, who graduated from Edmonds Community College with an associate’s degree and has a bachelor’s degree from University of Washington Bothell.

oel Taylor spent the first six years of his life in and out of Seattle Children’s Hospital.

“I was born with a birth defect,” he explained.

What he remembers most vividly from that time is his mother, a single parent waiting tables for a living.

“The thing that sticks out is her unwavering determination to be there for me,” Taylor said.

At that young age, “I was able to understand what commitment was — the embodiment of grit and fortitude,” said Taylor who grew up in Everett.

Her example, and that of his step-father, who tirelessly raised money for youth scholarships, “is what shaped me,” he said.

“That’s why I’m so stubborn and so compassionate in my stubbornness,” said Taylor, who works for Boeing in a product development role with assignments in Everett and Kent.

He’s used that drive and determination to help others succeed, a nominator wrote:

“Joel has a passion for a community that is rare and full in commitment.

ago, Graham was named the new director of Everett Community College East County campus in Monroe.

She took over for Mostafa Ghous, who left the position to become a dean at Hartnell College in Salinas, California.

The Monroe campus, which enrolled more than 400 students last fall, offers higher educational opportunities to those with limited travel options.

Students can earn an associate’s degree, complete high school, get job training and learn English among other disciplines, she said.

Graham was previously associate director of student affairs at Washington State University Everett. There, she established a food pantry, launched a chapter of Society of Women Engineers, and a CARE team, an outreach group aimed at helping university students in distress.

“When I first started at WSU Everett, there was no plan or infrastructure in place for reporting concerns about a student’s well being,” Graham wrote in her nomination statement.

Because WSU Everett

is a campus that supports non-traditional, commuter and underserved students, it was imperative, she said, to create a system that would allow students and faculty to report concerns about another student’s personal, academic or psychological health.

Graham created a CARE team manual of procedures, policies and responses.

She currently serves on the board for Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County.

She was selected by then-Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson and the City

Council to serve on the Envision Everett Committee 2017. The group provided recommendations on education, housing, economic development, homelessness, substance abuse and arts and culture.

A nominator described Graham as having “a passion for the advancement of women and people of color. She is dedicated, smart, and works hard to make a difference in all that she does.”

in making the Tulalip community’s dream of the Hibulb Cultural Center come true.

“Hibulb continues to display the rich and living culture of the Coast Salish peoples,” she said.

Lubbers served on the American Red Cross in Snohomish County for nine years, including as board chairwoman from 2014 - 2015.

“The experience enriched my life by seeing the commitment of volunteers to assist in the most trying times in strangers’ lives,” she wrote.

“In addition, I was able to help the organization solicit significant donations to assist with major disasters such as the Oso landslide.”

Lubbers has also served on the planning committee and co-chairwoman for the Tulalip Boys and Girls Club Auction.

“This Boys and Girls Club is the hub for our tribal families. Our children depend on the nutrition program and the reliable and loving adults,” she said.

In 2014, she was asked to serve as the Tribes Recovery Manager

“There were so many people who wanted to help, to foster healing and unity between the Tribes, Marysville and the school district.”

— Rochelle Lubbers

following the tragic shooting at MarysvillePilchuck High School.

On October 25, 2014, a 15-year-old student killed four classmates and wounded a fifth.

The shooter turned the gun on himself.

At the time, Lubbers was again a new mother with all the responsibility that entails.

“I decided to say ‘yes,’” she said. “I had a genuine love and interest to make sure the healing took place.”

Plus, “there were so many people who wanted to help, to foster healing and unity between the Tribes, Marysville and the school district,” she said.

She received training through the International Trauma Center, a nonprofit that provides

resources to facilitate recovery.

Today, she continues to use what she learned to develop new programs around education and preventing domestic violence.

But she sometimes struggles with the source of that knowledge.

“After the shooting — out of that really difficult time — we’ve been able to change the outcome of families. Some have had significant healing,” she said. “A mother gets healed, a father gets healed — the trickle effect of one person becoming healthy has a lasting impact in the community.”

president of the Vietnamese Eucharistic Youth Movement since 2013.

The youth group is affiliated with Immaculate Conception and Our Lady of Perpetual Help parishes in Everett.

Said a nominator, “Through this youth group, Ton has been able to motivate students of all ages to volunteer their own time and give back to the community locally and globally. An example of this includes building and establishing a partnership with the Global Peace Foundation and city of Lynnwood to clean up parks, pave gravel roads, and make posters for local elementary schools. At the global scale, Ton has led youth and young adults on mission trips to Haiti to

build schools and homes, deliver toys and hygiene items. He has led countless benefit dinners and events to raise money for the countries of Haiti, Vietnam, and even hosted a volleyball tournament for Nepal when they were hit with an earthquake.”

Nguyen also is involved with Housing Hope, Mercy Watch, Cocoon House, and the Union Gospel Mission among other groups.

Nguyen describes himself as fortunate: “Growing up, my family and I were always one paycheck away from being on the streets. I saw how hard my parents had to work and how loyal they were to making sure that we got what we needed regardless of how much

they had to work,” Nguyen said.

He’s resumed his Saturday visits to the Denney Juvenile Justice Center.

That includes spending time with “four young people you’ve probably read about in the newspaper,” he said.

“I’ve seen them grow from hating the world to talking about what they want to do with their lives after they serve their sentence,” he said.

In the community they were part of, he said, “they weren’t meant to thrive.”

“I want them to know — I want every kid that comes out of Denney to know — there are places they can go for help.”

Janice Podsada; jpodsada@heraldnet.com; 425-339-3097; Twitter: JanicePods

“may not be the most gifted athletes, but they’re gifted in citizenship and leadership,” Taylor said.

Since its inception, the organization has awarded $250,000 in scholarships to high school students in Snohomish and Island counties.

Said a nominator, Taylor “has created infrastructure and scholarships for that organization and wants to make a difference in the lives of youth across the region.”

Taylor also sits on the United Way Snohomish County board and the board of the Totes for Kids Snohomish County, a nonprofit that provides a backpack of essentials for children who’ve been

placed in foster care. Totes for Kids was founded by Roslyn Sterling, an Emerging Leader finalist in 2018.

Taylor’s affiliations also include The Tears Foundation, a nonprofit that assists families who’ve lost a child; and Wounded Warrior Project of Snohomish County, a veterans service organization.

He hopes to continue to inspire others to make Snohomish County an even better place, he said.

“We have a lot of human capital here that we don’t even know we have.”

leading in a passive role, and instilling good character and good judgment in youth and peers,” he wrote in his nomination statement.

He’s also a board member and chairman of the association’s Hall of Fame, which has been recognizing and supporting young players’ community service and educational goals for nearly 40 years.

Hall of Fame members volunteer their time to raise enough money each year to provide seven scholarships.

The board looks at community service, academics and other qualities.

She turned struggling food bank into powerful nonprofit Anne Anderson Age: 36 Profession: Executive Director, Lake Stevens Food Bank

L

AKE STEVENS — There’s a reason the Lake Stevens Community Food Bank doesn’t have income restrictions — families at any level can find themselves unable to put food on the table.

No one plans to lose their job, said Anne Anderson, the food bank’s executive director.

Last year, the Lake Stevens food bank served more than 13,000 people, including domestic

Anderson took the job as director in 2015 thinking it would be a 15-hour a week commitment.

“It turned out to be

80-plus hours a week,” Anderson said.

The nonprofit was looking for a little administrative help, Anderson said.

“Well, they needed more help than they knew,” she said.

Since then, Anderson has

added cooking and gardening programs and extended the food bank’s reach with satellite locations.

Her enterprise hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Anderson has “worked incredibly hard to make a struggling food bank into a powerful nonprofit doing great work,” a nominator wrote.

Donations have increased to the point that the food bank is able to share its bounty with other food banks and nonprofits such as Cocoon House, Interfaith Family Shelter in Everett and Snohomish County Domestic Violence Services, Anderson said.

A few months after she became the food bank’s director, “we had a beautiful squash donation,” she said.

When Anderson asked clients why they weren’t loading up — she discovered no one knew how to cook it.

The response prompted her to begin offering cooking classes through the food bank.

“Some of our best guidance has come from those who receive food from us,” she said.

Anderson’s first fundraising experience began when she was 14 years-old, and centered around food.

“Skagit County grows a ton of food. And outside of Holland, it grows the most tulips, ” said Anderson, who grew up in Anacortes.

So it’s no surprise she volunteered to raise money for Skagitonians to Preserve Farmland. The nonprofit was seeking donations for

colorful crop signs that would identify the local yield.

Anderson found that strange at first — she had always known which field was which.

“Why do you need a sign? Everyone knows what an asparagus field looks like. Purple flowers? That would be a potato field.”

She later realized that not everyone grows up on or near a farm.

Her fundraising efforts paid off and the markers went up.

“I don’t know how to make signs, but I do know how to make money,” she said, with a laugh.

Her effort to help others began with a few words Sara Boyle Age: 28 Profession: Director, Connect Casino Road

E

VERETT — Sara Boyle’s effort to string together a few sentences changed her view of the world.

Twelve years ago, Boyle, who was volunteering at a Lynnwood food bank, summoned the courage to use her high school Spanish and asked a visitor whether she preferred carrots or potatoes.

Her questions prompted smiles and a conversation.

“It really brought the value of language to me. Instead of seeing it as another high school credit, it put a face on it,” said Boyle, then a junior at Kamiak High School in Mukilteo.

Sara Boyle

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Boyle is now director of Connect Casino Road, a collaboration of more than 15 community partners. Some

are faith-based, some center around schools and nonprofits, and some are grassroots.

She’s in charge of managing a $700,000 grant under the oversight of the Community Foundation of Snohomish County, a nonprofit that promotes charitable giving.

About 20,000 people — many of them young families — live in the area bounded by Casino Road, Airport Road and Evergreen Way. One-quarter of the population lives in poverty. At 36 percent, the poverty rate for children is more than double the countywide rate.

For decades, there’s been talk about a community center.

Boyle is working toward that goal and others.

Last year, she brought together more than 150 community members to

complete a design process for the new center.

It will occupy a four-building complex next to the Everett Fred Meyer store on Evergreen Way. “Now, we’re entering the permitting phase to do the remodel and starting a capital campaign,” she said.

She sits on the Everett Police Chief’s Community Advisory Board.

She mentors a group of Latina mothers who are developing their own nonprofit group, Madres de Casino Road.

“I’m passionate about trying to make this world a better place,” she wrote in her nomination form. “I strive to become a leader that focuses on providing others around me with opportunities to grow and learn both personally and professionally.”

She also understands that leadership sometimes means letting go of the reins.

“Several months ago the collaborative group I was leading —the Casino Road Initiative — merged with another collaborative group also doing the work on Casino Road. The merger meant letting go of the name, governance structure and strategic plan that we had spent a year and a half developing,” Boyle said.

“It meant welcoming in new partners and co-developing a new way of being and doing this work together. This was not the easy choice, but it was the right choice. I knew that this move would increase our ability to impact families living on Casino Road,” she said.

ulio Cortes once viewed the city of Everett as a stepping stone.

“I was going to use Everett as my pit stop on the way to Seattle,” said Cortes, a graduate of Western Washington University in Bellingham.

Ten years later, Cortes’ devotion to the city and Snohomish County is unwavering.

Cortes is a member of the Everett School District’s Fiscal Advisory

Julio Cortes

Committee and the County’s Tourism Promotion board.

Since 2017, he’s been the spokesman for the city of Everett, and in charge

of advertising and marketing efforts in support of the city’s economic development activities.

Before that he spent eight years working at Cocoon House, first as a case manager and later as public relations manager.

The Everett-based nonprofit offers shelter and programs for homeless and at-risk teens and young people.

In 2017, Cortes and his co-workers helped secure a $2.75 million grant for the nonprofit’s new Colby Avenue Youth Center at Colby Avenue and 36th Street. The center is expected to open this year.

A nominator described Cortes as “a passionate advocate for underfunded and marginalized

communities.”

Said the nominator, “From his contributions while working at Cocoon House to his service as an elected member of the City of Lynnwood’s Human Services Commission, Julio has contributed his voice to ensure teens and youth are included in long-term strategic planning in our community.”

Cortes faced his own teenage trials in Wapato, Washington, where he grew up.

He credits his family and sports for keeping on the right track.

“In middle school and high school there was a really big gang problem there,” he said.

“My family made a point to get to know my

friends, invite them over and try to steer them as well.”

“Sports taught me about leadership and helped me get a college scholarship,” Cortes said.

He likes to describe Everett as a Goldilocks city. “It has something for everyone,” Cortes said.

“We do have issues just like other cities but we’re so many more things than those problems,” he said.

“We have a walkable downtown. You go east and there’s some of the best hiking in the country.

You go west and there’s the water,” he said.

“I can’t wait to see where we’re going to be in five to 10 years.”

“That’s where I get my courage,” he said.

Growing up poor, and watching the struggles of his family and neighbors as they tried to create a better life for their children, instilled in him a deep passion, he said.

“It motivates me to research and act for the betterment of the society I live in,” Karn said.

Karn, who has a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the University of Delhi, came to the United States in 2012 on a Fulbright Scholarship and studied journalism at Everett Community College.

At EvCC, he served on a committee to find alternative ways for needy students to pay for their textbooks.

In spring 2013, he

interned at this newspaper.

Karn continues to help others as a full-time health aide specialist, full-time student, volunteer, and advocate for seniors.

He figures he gets about three or four hours of sleep each night.

At Steps Towards Independence in Marysville, where he’s worked since 2016, he assists people with developmental disabilities find work and housing.

“I believe Sumit makes a difference being on our team supporting people with disabilities,” a nominator wrote, adding “he shows leadership with his devotion, attention to details and direction.”

As secretary of the Rotaract Club of Snohomish

County, a Rotary affiliated nonprofit, Karn has helped organize charitable events for cancer patients and the homeless, and is coordinating a trip to Guatemala to install more efficient stoves for villagers. The group will pair with Hands for Peacemaking, an Everett nonprofit group that promotes selfreliance in rural Guatemala.

Karn expects to graduate this spring from Washington State University Everett.

“Snohomish County has been my home for the last seven years,” Karn said. “This community has offered me a lot and I have been trying my best to give back.”

Keeping his promises to the youth he mentors Dan Kittle Age: 37 Profession: Attorney, Lane Powell PC

T

hat week, Dan Kittle’s schedule was over the top.

Kittle, an attorney and shareholder at the Seattle law firm of Lane Powell, was preparing for an intense trial.

But that wasn’t the only item on his calender that week. At the Mukilteo Boys and Girls Club, where he coaches basketball, he was in charge of the team’s practice sessions.

Then there was the promise he’d vowed to

Dan Kittle

keep: a high school student that he mentored had asked him to attend a school sporting event.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

“I wanted to show the student how proud I was and also show the importance of fulfilling my

SNOHOMISH COUNTY

AWARD EVENT

promises,” said Kittle who got up early and worked late to fulfill his pledge.

Kittle’s reward was a thankful, grateful student, he said.

Kittle and his wife Rachel, a 2017 Emerging Leader finalist, are the founders of Leadership Launch.

The Mukilteo-based nonprofit group mentors youth who want to make a lasting impact in their communities but may face personal or financial hardship.

“The goal of our program is to work with a group of leaders (teens) that can go out and work and empower others,” Kittle said.

Every Sunday, the group assembles at the Kittles’

Mukilteo home to chat, eat a homemade meal and meet with adult volunteers and community leaders.

“Dan picks students up and drops them off. He helps with curriculum and assists students with editing their school papers. He facilitates meetings, and participates in every meeting,” a nominator wrote.

Leadership Launch started with five kids in 2014; now the group welcomes 18 teens each week.

Students are paired with mentors from Leadership Snohomish County.

“I love listening to their hopes and dreams. I love working with them. They’re such a diverse group. I think there are at least six or

seven languages spoken,” Kittle said.

Last year, the group organized its first big project, “Mobile Dental Day,” which brought dentists, soccer, free music and hot dogs to a park on Everett’s Casino Road.

This year, Leadership Launch is planning an event at the Rosehill Community Center in Mukilteo that it’s calling “We are Culture — Creating Unity By Celebrating Our Differences,” Kittle said.

“There tends to be divisiveness in our community,” he said. “Students want to address that and let people know it’s not us versus them, it’s just us.”

He hopes to inspire others to volunteer their time Dan Leach Age: 37 Profession: Senior Vice President, Branch Manager, D. A. Davidson & Co. in Everett

t’s the simple things that can light up the world — whether it’s delivering turkeys to families that might not otherwise have a Thanksgiving dinner or giving needy kids a few dollars and taking them shopping so they can buy Christmas presents for their family, said Dan Leach.

Their “eyes just light up,” said Leach, senior vice president of D.A. Davidson & Co. in Everett, a financial management firm.

Dan Leach

Leach took over the business from his father, a financial adviser, who retired in 2016.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

On the job and off, Leach is committed to meeting the needs of Snohomish County residents.

“My professional and personal visions are both represented in my belief of leading by example,” he wrote in his nomination statement.

“Whether you are parenting or managing, you must always provide a good role model. I also strongly believe in giving back to the community and I encourage my colleagues to do this as well. This is illustrated by our annual D.A. Davidson Day of Giving.

Each year we pinpoint and highlight an area of our community that needs attention by volunteering as a group,” Leach wrote.

“I also encourage colleagues to volunteer in our community individually,” he said.

Outside of work, Leach is president of the Rotary

Club of South Everett/ Mukilteo.

He was drawn to the nonprofit organization because of its emphasis on service above self.

“Growing up, my parents instilled in me a sense of community,” Leach said.

Each year, the group raises more than $100,000 “that all goes back to the community,” he said.

Through Rotary, Leach and others have been able to help some of the “overlooked sides of the community,” he said.

A few years ago, Rotary partnered with students at Kamiak High School in Mukilteo.

They wanted to honor the victims of the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

To do that, students decided to fund a new well in Buchanan, Liberia.

“We connected them with a nonprofit group that constructs wells in Liberia,” Leach said.

Kamiak raised enough money to build a well that provides clean drinking water for families in the area, he said.

Leach’s other affiliations have included Providence Regional Medical Center, Homage Senior Services (formerly Senior Services of Snohomish County), the YMCA of Snohomish County and the Community Ministry Board and Cocoon House.

“I always hope to inspire people with my enthusiasm,” he said.

Embracing Snohomish County’s unique identity Maxwell Mooney Age: 28 Profession: Co-owner, Narrative Coffee in Everett

T

Maxwell Mooney

he Latin root of the word hospitality is ‘hostis’ which means stranger, explains Maxwell Mooney.

Hospitality has the potential to turn a stranger into a friend, he said.

“One of the best ways to do that is to share food or a beverage,” Mooney said.

It’s been true across many cultures for thousands of years — “recognizing someone’s humanity by sharing a meal with them,” he said.

That credo has served Mooney well as co-owner of Narrative Coffee in Everett

and in his efforts to serve the community.

A nationally ranked barista, Mooney opened Narrative Coffee in downtown Everett in 2017 with the twin goals of serving the best coffee and creating a welcoming space.

“I wanted to create a worldclass coffee bar,” he said.

Narrative won the 2017 “Best New Cafe” award from Sprudge.com, an online coffee blog that solicits nominations from around the world.

Competition for the annual award included coffee bars in Seattle, Vancouver, Ireland, Korea and New Zealand.

“We try hard to welcome everyone in, and try to make people feel welcome across all price points,” Mooney said.

That includes operating an honor bar.

“It’s $2 for a cup of coffee, but we don’t enforce it,” he said.

With business humming, Mooney last year joined the Downtown Everett Association’s inaugural board of directors.

He is chairman of the Economic Development Committee, one of five committees within the association.

“The team that I’ve had the honor of encouraging and leading has been made up of folks from multiple backgrounds: from the Economic Director for the City of Everett, to a lawyer, to an arts community advocate, to a prominent member of a local toy manufacturer with a global reach,” he wrote in his nomination statement.

Said Mooney, “It’s been a really cool experience to be

in the same room with likeminded people who believe in Everett and want to see it grow.”

Narrative participates in the annual Toys for Tots drive and donates coffee to the Everett Gospel Mission.

Mooney raises money for the Pregnancy Resource Center of Snohomish County.

Mooney has called Snohomish Count home since 2010.

“This is the longest I’ve lived anywhere,” he said.

Growing up, his family moved 23 times.

“My biggest hope is that Snohomish County will find its own identity,” Mooney said. “There’s a lot we have to offer here. I’d like to see more people step into their identity as Snohomish County folks.”

Bringing different people, ideas and perspectives together Ambar Martinez Age: 30 Profession: Executive Assistant to the Chief Diversity and Equity Officer, Everett Community College

A

turning point for Ambar Martinez came when she was hired to teach Spanish at Washington State University in Pullman, where she was pursuing a master’s degree in foreign languages and cultures.

Years before, when Martinez arrived in the United States as a teenager, she’d been advised to put aside her native language, Spanish, and focus on learning English.

In doing so, Martinez also felt as if she were being prodded to set aside her culture and heritage.

Ambar Martinez

SUBMITTED PHIOTO

Now, years later she was teaching Spanish and telling

students —study, study, study, so they could master a second language and get a betterpaying job.

Those two very different messages — unlearn Spanish, learn Spanish — seemed inconsistent and unecessary.

“We tell students not to speak Spanish, but then tell other students to learn Spanish,” Martinez said.

“Why can’t you have both?” she wondered.

Ever since, Martinez has been trying to bring disparate ideas, people and institutions together.

Together is stronger.

As her grandparents told her, “El pueblo unido jamás será vencido” — United people will never be defeated.

When she became executive assistant to the chief diversity and equity officer at Everett Community College five years ago, she saw the opportunity

to “bridge the conversation between the higher levels of education and the grassroots efforts among the community.”

As a first-generation college student, she understands the need for students to feel “celebrated for who they are” from the minute they arrive on campus.

“How do we create a system that upholds and uplifts all the beautiful things that students come with? Students who come here are already awesome,” Martinez said.

A lot of the work she does at EvCC is “getting small projects moving,” she said.

That includes recruitment — reaching out to students and students of color in particular.

That’s one side of it, the other is recruiting for diversity among the college’s faculty and staff.

“I think we are in a key time in our college in terms of really being able to transform

ourselves into an organization that is equitable and compassionate,” Martinez said.

“I believe in the possibility of a better world and that we all, from our different perspectives and passions, have to creatively and collaboratively reach for it. As I look into the future, I understand that it takes all of us to uphold oppression, and all of us to undo it,” she said.

Martinez also is involved in Connect Casino Road, NAACP, the EvCC Foundation Scholarship for Undocumented, Black and/or LGBTQ students and the Parent Leadership Training Institute at EvCC. Said a nominator: “Ambar is doing wonderful things around diversity, equity and inclusion at EvCC and beyond. She is the voice of Snohomish County’s future.”

it ended when he awoke to the unattractive reality of New York City politics.

Caught in the middle of a name-calling, mud-slinging fight between the city’s administration and a leftist insurgent political movement, the Amazon project took on a nightmarish dimension. It appeared that Amazon had already been through that experience in Seattle and wasn’t about to voluntarily go through it again. In short, they could make it anywhere but in New York, New York.

The collapse of the plan for Amazon’s New York City complex with its over 24,000 jobs was well reported in the news media. What has received little attention, though, is how the company’s management intent to build an “HQ2,” a parallel to its current Seattle headquarters, has been jettisoned, too.

This is a major change

to the company’s management plan for its organizational structure and growth.

The company has said that it will distribute the new jobs throughout its facilities across the country, but this says little about how it intends to manage its operations in the future.

There is a saying in the design field that “form follows function.” And while Amazon has not disclosed exactly what its new plan is, they have revealed that, for the moment at least, the HQ2 concept is out and new jobs will be distributed geographically rather than clustered in a single campus.

This is a major change in form, and it implies a significantly changed structure of the company’s management functions. This is a lot more, and a lot more difficult than a paper exercise of drawing a new organization chart.

Once a company starts

to place decision-making responsibility in the hands of executives at remote sites, all sorts of communications, financial, and human resource issues begin to sprout up. And somehow, they are magnified by distance. A simple, predictable issue like a time zone difference, for example, can loom large in communications and become a major irritant, especially if it is unplanned. And management team “get togethers” can become a travel, and time, nightmare.

The company will have to take a hard look at how dependent on interpersonal “facetime” their run of successes was managed and determine how that structure can be made to fit into a country-wide and global strategy.

Analysts and investors will be watching closely for clues and evidence of what that

new management structure will look like. It’s all part of the continuous evaluation – which is one determinant of the company’s stock price.

Of course, one option for Amazon is going back to the NYC campus plan, whose management details they had undoubtedly already worked out. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is leading a coalition attempting to restart the negotiations between the city and the company. And 80 of the city’s leading citizens have signed an open letter in the New York Times with a straightforward “Come back Shane “message.

Amazon’s Seattle experience and the way the NYC talks ended make the company’s return unlikely, but we should never underestimate the power of a dream, especially in an entrepreneurial setting. Keep that tugboat warmed up.
