Women & Leadership
Have you met your governor, your senators, your representatives? May 18 and 19, I was fortunate to talk with Washington State Governor Christine Gregoire and State Representative Lynn Kessler. They were in town for a tour of the Northwest Maritime Center & Wooden Boat Foundation facilities and programs. While here, I talked with them about how for three decades, the Wooden Boat Festival has influenced good things in our community, good relationships between us and seaport towns worldwide. The list is long and women have played a part at every step along the way, spawning and promoting new maritime businesses, exceptional tourist experiences, intergenerational programs, sustainable programs and inviting partnerships. It felt good to meet our leaders. It was inspiring to find they were smart, strong, capable leaders. If you haven't met your leadership, take the lead. Do it, before the election season dilutes your experience and possibly, your impact. Be a leader yourself.
