A big welcome to the EDB’s newest board members, elected on March 18.

“My heartfelt thanks to the Nominations Committee for their work crafting a slate of fantastic candidates,” said EDB President Bruce Kendall. Kudos to co-chairs Lisa Goodman (Benaroya Company) and Hyun Kim (City of Fife) for leading this effort, along with committee members Jackie Flowers (Tacoma Public Utilities), Bev Losey (Brown & Brown of Washington), Mary Ragsdale (CHI Franciscan, St. Anthony Hospital) and Matt Perry (Puget Sound Energy). “Everyone was engaged, thoughtful and deliberative throughout the process,” Kendall said.
